"Vartul Goyal: Defending Data, Slaying Cyber Dragons, and Making AWS Clouds Secure - All While Wearing a Cape (Metaphorically)! ????♂?"

?? Hello LinkedIn Network! Meet Vartul Goyal: Your Passport to Secure Success in the UK! ????

Greetings, my talented LinkedIn community! ?? I'm Vartul Goyal, your friendly neighborhood Information Security Guru, DevSecOps Whiz, and Cloud Security Magician. ??♂? Yes, that's right – I make sure your data is safer than a vault guarded by a three-headed dragon! ??

?? I come bearing 12.5 years of experience in the world of Information Security, armed with skills that would make even James Bond rethink his career choice. From Web and Cloud to Network Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Management, Security Architecture, Threat Modelling, SAST, DAST, OWASP TOP 10, SANS 25, and Active Bug Bounty Hunting – I've got it all covered. If digital villains were my nemesis, they'd be shaking in their virtual boots. ??

?? Currently, I'm basking in the glory of holding the illustrious UK Tech Nation - Global Talent Visa. ?? Yes, they basically rolled out the red carpet for me, and I couldn't resist the charm of the UK tech scene. So, here I am, ready to bring my expertise to any corner of this fascinating island!

?? Now, let's talk certifications. I don't collect them like Pokémon cards, but I've got a few up my sleeve: Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), AWS Certified Specialist, GCP Security Specialist Certified, CKA, CKS, and the pièce de résistance, the OFFENSIVE HACKING CERTIFIED EXPERT (OHCE) from GCSRT. ??

?? Hall of Fame, you say? I've got that on speed dial! Microsoft, UpWork, Intel, Samsung, Indeed, Netflix, Seagate, Paypal, Jet Airways – they've all seen my name up in lights. If there was a Hall of Fame for LinkedIn, I'd probably be in there too! ??

?? I've even dabbled in the world of literature – three books to my name, no biggie. "Bounty Security Hack," "API Security Bundle," and "CyberSecurity for CISO/CTO/CIO" – all available on Amazon. My words are my weapons, and I use them to fend off cyber threats! ??

?? Speaking of world domination, I've trotted across the globe, spreading my wisdom in Information Security Consulting. From the USA (B1 Permit Holder) to Germany (Expired Work Permit Holder) and even the exotic lands of Indonesia – I've left my mark everywhere. ??

?? When it comes to security, I'm like a Swiss Army knife of skills: Design Reviews, Threat Modeling, Secure SDLC, SAST & DAST Reviews, Security Governance, Information Management, Information Security Strategy, Process and Framework practices – they're all in my wheelhouse. ??

?? And if you want to see my digital playground, check out my GitHub: https://github.com/goyalvartul/securitymatter. It's like the Batcave, but for code. ??♂?

?? I've launched rockets (figuratively speaking) in the AWS universe. From AWS Configuration to secure CloudEndure migrations and mastering GitLab Cloud in the AWS environment – I'm like the Elon Musk of Cloud Security. ??

?? RFPs? Oh, I whip those up like Gordon Ramsay whips up soufflés. Designing RFPs for global clients is my jam. ???

?? Security? It's my middle name. Well, not really, but I'm fluent in AWS Encryption at rest and transit standards. If you've ever dreamt of a world where your data is as safe as a bank vault, I'm your guy. ??

?? NIST and ISO27001, SOC2 standards? They're my bedtime stories. I can recite them in my sleep – not that I ever sleep, with all these cyber threats to thwart! ??

?? Thick client applications? I've secured against those bad boys too. They're like the Hercules of the software world, and I'm their personal trainer of cool guys. ??

??? AWS Cloud Security Controls? I've mastered them all – IAM (Provisioning & de-provisioning), AWS Config, Security Hub, CloudFormation Stack, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, Lambda Security, DDOS Protection, Hardening, CloudTrail (yes, I said it twice, it's that important), GuardDuty, Security Hub, Trusted Advisor, Shield Advanced, AWS Config & Inspector. And let's not forget CloudFlare with SIEM activities. I'm basically a walking encyclopedia of cloud security. ??

?? In fact, I'm so good that I've been awarded a whopping 30 CR INR project execution for an RFP with SSDLC process. That's like winning the cybersecurity lottery! ??

?? But I'm not just a security geek; I'm also an artist. Well, a code artist. I'm working on Open Source Projects that are so cool, they're practically sub-zero! Check them out here: https://github.com/goyalvartul/Cloud-Security-Encyclopedia/ and https://github.com/goyalvartul/API-Security-Manual. Picasso would be proud. ??

?? So, if you need a tech superhero in the UK – someone who can lock down your data, hack into the minds of cybercriminals, and make your systems as impenetrable as Fort Knox – look no further. I'm Vartul Goyal, and I'm here to save the day (and your data)! ??
