Ankit Panchariya — DevOps Manager
I am passionate about strengthening organizations' security posture and driving innovation in the field of cybersecurity. With a strong background in security automation, cloud security, and compliance initiatives, I am dedicated to ensuring that businesses can operate securely in today's digital landscape. As a Staff Product Security Engineer, I have had the privilege of working with leading companies in the industry. At Palo Alto Networks, I've been at the forefront of automating risk and compliance processes, enhancing security through secure CI/CD pipelines, and collaborating with the OffSec team to optimize security workflows. Prior to this, my role as a Staff Infrastructure Architect (Cloud Security) at GE Gas Power allowed me to lead security and compliance efforts, design and implement tools like "Terminator" to ensure resource provisioning compliance, and champion DevSecOps practices for over 30 applications. My experience as a Security Risk Analyst at GE Cybertech & Risk equipped me with the skills to identify and resolve vulnerabilities, particularly in AWS Dive Infrastructure, and address data protection challenges compliant with GDPR and HIPAA. I have also had the opportunity to contribute as an Associate Consultant within GE's premier Corporate Audit Staff (CAS), where I played a pivotal role in auditing cloud environments, conducting third-party security assessments, and improving resilience in critical applications. My proficiency extends to various aspects of cybersecurity, including security assessment and testing, threat modeling, vulnerability management, secure coding practices, web application security, network security, penetration testing, cryptography, and the implementation of security tools and standards. I'm also well-versed in incident response, cloud security across AWS, Azure, and GCP, DevSecOps practices, and compliance standards like NIST and CMMC. I am excited about the challenges the cybersecurity landscape presents and am committed to continuous learning and improvement in this dynamic field. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in connecting, discussing cybersecurity strategies, or exploring potential collaborations.
