Harivansh Chauhan

Professional Summary

CLOUD SECURITY | INCIDENT RESPONSE | AI GOVERNANCE | IT AUDIT

Warm Greetings! I'm Harivansh Chauhan deeply involved in the space of Cyber Security. Passionate InfoSec professional working in multiple dimensions of cybersecurity, leveraging expertise in Cloud Security – GCP & AWS, Security Command Center (SCC), Security Incident Response, GRC, and Network Security to thrive in challenging Information Security roles, fostering a robust security posture for IT and OT environments.

Learning and performing VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) for Web Applications and Android Applications. It is like being a detective and a guard in the realm of cybersecurity — first identifying potential weak spots through Vulnerability Assessment, then simulating attacks through Penetration Testing to understand real-world exploitability.

Personally, I believe “Cyber Security is not just about protecting digital assets, it's about protecting the trust of people who use them.”
