About Samriddhi

I\'m a computer science engineer turned cybersecurity professional.My journey began in software development, but I became increasingly fascinated by how cybersecurity was reshaping technology and business. That curiosity grew into a passion, and with my engineering foundation, I transitioned into cybersecurity, where I’ve been solving complex security challenges ever since. Whether I’m tuning SIEM rules, implementing Zero Trust architectures, or teaching digital forensics, my focus remains the same: building secure systems that enable innovation while mitigating real-world risks.Here’s what I’ve worked on:→ At KPMG, I led end-to-end IAM projects for enterprise clients, architecting solutions with SailPoint and Saviynt. I onboarded applications using JDBC connectors, implemented RBAC and Joiner-Mover-Leaver workflows, and managed certification campaigns to strengthen compliance.→ At Ericsson, I secured telecom infrastructure by implementing robust security controls to address OWASP vulnerabilities while improving deployment reliability by 15% through Test-Driven Development practices.Recent projects I’m excited about:→ Kaisura AI-Cloud Security Framework – Designed an enterprise-grade framework with 30+ KPIs aligning NIST, ISO 27001, and OWASP LLM Top 10 standards, validated in HIPAA-compliant healthcare use cases.→ Advanced Penetration Testing – Executed privilege escalation using Metasploit and Hydra, demonstrating real-world attack vectors and corresponding defense strategies.→ Network Defense Systems – Configured Snort IDS and IPFire firewalls to detect and block sophisticated attack patterns.Certifications: AWS Cloud Practitioner, CompTIA Security+Learning: Active on TryHackMe (tryhackme.com/p/Sam5)Let’s connect if you’re passionate about IAM, cloud security, or want to discuss the evolving cybersecurity landscape!
