Pankaj Gupta Headshot

Pankaj Gupta

Sr. Cybersecurity Architect

I have over 25 years of experience in IT/IS modernization, I specialize in enterprise strategy, governance, cybersecurity audits, framework implementation, cloud migration, cybersecurity architecture, and business continuity/disaster recovery planning.

My expertise includes leading teams to develop enterprise cybersecurity governance aligned with NIST and COBIT frameworks, employing quantitative risk management techniques, and applying model frameworks for AI-driven solutions. A strategic leader, I excel in fostering trust across organizational levels, managing high-performing teams, and mentoring professionals to drive career growth.

I have successfully directed large-scale engagements to assess security vulnerabilities in native and hybrid cloud environments, applying Defense-in-Depth and Zero Trust methodologies to strengthen Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions. My work enhances overall security posture through automation, incident response optimization, and critical service restoration.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I enjoy outdoor activities such as walking with my Husky and playing squash. Committed to continuous learning, I stay updated on cybersecurity trends through industry news, blogs, and podcasts. I also actively contribute to my community by organizing and participating in social impact initiatives.
