ABOUT KIRTHANA R.
Cyber Security is my main campaign, with Application Security at the core. I enjoy getting into the weeds with secure architecture designs, security testing, threat modeling, and tackling the real boss battles before they ever reach production.My role has me switching builds often, moving between AppSec, detection engineering, threat intel, automation, compliance and AI security depending on what the day throws at me. Plenty of side quests along the way, all sharpening the skill set.
