About Harsha Kothagundu
Network & Information Security Leader with over 15 years of experience in enterprise network and information security. I specialize in integrating security controls into consumer platforms and internal applications, driving automation, enabling compliance, and leading incident response with accountability.I\'m known for aligning security initiatives with business priorities and leading high-performing teams across APAC and the U.S. After relocating from the U.S. to India, I currently lead APAC network security at PayPal, supporting global firewall infrastructure across both cloud and on-prem environments.I follow the “3S” principle in everything I do: Keep it Simple, make it Secure, and ensure it’s Scalable. That mindset has helped me build not just strong systems but strong teams.
