Hi! I am Vikas Gothwal.
What I Do
I work in information security, mainly focusing on building practical security programs and helping teams make safer decisions. Most of my work revolves around cybersecurity risk, governance, compliance, and cloud security. I also create security standards and policies so teams have clear guidance to follow, and I spend time on security research whenever I come across interesting problems or patterns that are worth exploring. I like understanding what’s going wrong and coming up with simple, and workable solutions.
Overall, I try to keep things simple, useful, and aligned with how the business actually works.
Why This Blog Exists
I created this website as a notebook for my learning, though I make notes on multiple platforms and physical notebooks, I liked the idea of collating everything at one place and to see how they connect together. For now, I’ve mostly collected my earlier cybersecurity notes that I made during CISSP preparation from notion. Whenever I get time, I’ll write blogs here based on my learning and work experience.
