I'm Zove Kataria — a cybersecurity and cloud security professional trained across networking, systems administration, cloud architecture, and detection & response.
Six areas I've gone deepest on, each built through hands-on training.
Designing and reviewing AWS and Azure environments with a security-first lens: shared-responsibility boundaries, network segmentation, and encryption in transit and at rest. Secure by default, not patched after the fact.
SIEM log analysis, alert triage, and structured incident investigation, turning raw telemetry into a clear, defensible timeline of what happened and what to do next.
Least-privilege IAM policy design, Active Directory administration, and access reviews that keep permissions matched to actual need.
System administration, patch discipline, and configuration baselines built to shrink attack surface. Every running service has to earn its place.
Python and Terraform for infrastructure that's reproducible, version-controlled, and checked for security issues before it reaches production.
Protocol-level fluency across routing, switching, and secure network design, the foundation every higher-level control depends on.
Good security work is invisible when it's working, and unmistakable when you skip it.
I build layered controls, not audit theater.
Infrastructure as code frees up attention for the judgment calls.
Threats evolve weekly, and my training does too.
