ABOUT NAVEEN KUMAR
Security Engineer specializing in Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Cybersecurity Automation to build security-first infrastructure. With 5 years of experience in high-compliance environments, I focus on transforming regulatory requirements into robust, scalable, and automated security solutions. My core expertise lies in architecting and hardening access controls. This includes integrating web applications with SSO, MFA, and PAM systems, leading comprehensive user access audits, and managing the entire IAM framework to strictly enforce the Least Privilege principle. I actively enhance the security posture through strategic tool deployment and automation. This involves: Deploying and maintaining critical security tools, including SIEM, EDR, and DLP platforms. Securing the development lifecycle by integrating vulnerability management and logging with GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Leveraging Python and a strong cloud background (AWS/GCP) to automate vulnerability ticketing (using Tenable Scans) and streamlining security operations. I am proficient in aligning infrastructure and access governance with rigorous industry standards like SOC 2, SOX, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and NERC CIP. AWS Certified and dedicated to continuous defense-in-depth, I thrive on building resilient systems that mitigate evolving cyber threats.
