I am a cybersecurity professional committed to strengthening the digital backbone of Delhi University. At DUCC, I lead our cybersecurity strategy and training efforts—focusing not only on securing critical infrastructure but also on building a proactive and vigilant culture across all departments.

With over 7 years of experience in cryptanalysis, information security, and cybersecurity education, I bring both technical expertise and strategic vision to my role. My academic foundation spans BCA, PGDCA, and MCA. 

At DU, I have spearheaded key initiatives including:

--University-wide risk assessments and incident response planning

--Deployment of Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)

--Integration of CERT-IN threat intelligence

--Development of structured training programs for faculty and staff

--Organizing awareness campaigns and simulated phishing exercises

I am currently working on future-ready initiatives such as establishing an AI-powered Security Operations Centre (SOC) and a dedicated Cybersecurity Lab to make Delhi University a benchmark for digital resilience in higher education.

My vision is clear:

To transform Delhi University into a secure, vigilant, and digitally empowered institution where cybersecurity is not an afterthought—but a shared responsibility and cultural norm.

"Cybersecurity today is no longer just about protection—it's about foresight, culture, and institutional resilience."
