The Significance of Namaste in Information Security

Information Security starts with you, so I greet people with Namaste or Namaskara. No shake hands and only Namaste. Let's dive into the meaning of the way I greet people with. Here are the top four reasons.

The "divine in me honours the divine in you".

1. Personal Branding – Namaste or Namaskara has become my personal branding.
2. Information Security – No one will be able to capture?fingerprints or palmprints.
3. Indian Cultural Heritage – The origin of Namaste or Namaskara.
4. Spirituality – Respecting the other person's aura – Aura is an 8-dimensional?energy field.

These are the top four reasons why the founder has ensured that the Namaste is OM?'s integral corporate culture.

Namaste, One and all,

I am Krishna Gupta, on an inspired mission to Secure Cyber Risk by simulating a malicious adversary to find and fix the security gaps in the entire information infrastructure. Simply put, what we do is -- Secure Cyber Risk. We Secure Information. We find Security Gaps(Vulnerabilities) and Fix Security Gaps (Remediation) in the entire Information Infrastructure.

We simulate as an adversary to understand the attacker’s intent.

OMVAPT Private Limited

I am passionate about Apple Mac and Information Security. I live my dreams of building a bootstrapped Information Security startup, OMVAPT Private Limited, incorporated in Bengaluru in 2016. And OMVAPT Oü was incorporated in Tallinn, Estonia, in 2019.

To celebrate the 6th Work Anniversary of OMVAPT (in India), We did a soft launch (Beta) of Fix a Risk in 2022.?We are securing the risk of #MoonLighting, #Cyber_Security_Skills_Gap and #The_Great_Resignation. We have launched a Cyber Security freelancing platform - FixaRisk (in beta) - for IT (Cyber Defenders) and Offensive Security Experts such as Penetration Testers (Ethical Hackers).

Now, I am offering a Secure CEO as a Service to safeguard the CEOs globally.

I am a vegetarian and health conscious. I love eco-friendly things that truly connect to nature.

I have over two decades of work experience in the Information Technology & Information Security domain. I have worked with multi-domain environments on Linux, Windows, and Apple Macintosh Servers. I have worked both as a Systems Integrator and Systems Administrator, which has helped me to view the broader and in-depth perspective of Information Technology and Information Security. My work is one of the greatest satisfactions and allies in my life.

Security is the first thought and certainly not an afterthought. A dedicated Information Security Officer is a quintessential requirement for any organisation. I am proactive, visionary and solution-oriented, with proven analytic and sound leadership qualities. I use my time wisely and make every day count by doing the work that is truly most important and meaningful and that genuinely inspires me, and I am left with more energy and time to spare. I prioritise my daily work and delegate other lower-priority actions to qualified and wise people. I work efficiently, so I do the right job. I work effectively, so I do the job right. I focus on achieving results that productively serve and inspire everyone around me. Working 40 hours a week on weekdays will enhance productivity, thus aligning my life with work-life balance by relaxing and rejuvenating on weekends.

My work experience when I was an employee

I was an IT Generalist, providing solutions to defence verticals such as ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) and DRDO (Defence Research & Development Organization), predominantly in Bengaluru and Hassan. I have also bagged a vast Network Monitoring and Management Solution order for an automobile giant - Toyota.

My dedication towards work and excellent reporting managers (both Managing Director and Vice President) have led me to enable the organisation to go through the certification phase of ISO 27001:2005 from BSI (British Standards Institute) without any non-conformities (NCs). I played multiple roles: Internal Lead Auditor, Vulnerability Manager, ISMS Manager and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). To put it at ease, I did both implementations of ISMS and verified the functionality whether it is working fine as an Internal Lead Auditor. I have used Nessus & Metasploit to find the vulnerabilities and assisted the IT team to remediate the discovered vulnerabilities. I received multiple promotions and was eligible for three salary hikes, yet I received only one salary hike of 100%.

I became the Global Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for the entire Vulnerability Management and Assessment using Qualys for a Fortune 500 company. I used to perform Vulnerability Assessments of over 25K+ devices, including servers and networks.

Secure CEO as a Service

If any C-Level Executives get Social Engineered, the entire organisation is compromised within minutes. Securing the C-Suite is the need of the hour. I offer Secure CEO as a Service, ensuring.

C-level executives effectively manage their Cyber Risk. Now, Cyber Risk is a Business Risk even in India. You may find more information on my personal website - https://krishnag.ceo

My hierarchy of values dictates my inspired destiny.?

I am wise, ensuring my goals are aligned with my highest values.?

My goals help me strengthen and manifest my most incredible vision.?

I am in touch with my authentic self and focused on my pursuit.?

Nobody will have to motivate you if you have a burning desire to do something of the highest value in your life.

You will just automatically come up with creative ways of doing it. When the why is big enough, the hows take care of themselves!

You will endure pain and pleasure in pursuing whatever is highest on your value system. Whatever’s low on your value system, you will only do it if it’s pleasurable and give up when it’s painful.

So, if wealth building is low enough on your values, you will not endure what it takes to be an entrepreneur and to build wealth.

Finally, I would like to thank LinkedIn for giving me an opportunity to express my views.

Signing off for this article. Please voice your opinions and views and let me know how I can help you secure your risk. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Namaskara,

Krishna Gupta
