OPEN TO SECURITY LEADERSHIP ROLES Hello, I'm Satish.
Nice to meet you.

I lead IT infrastructure, end-user support, cybersecurity, and device compliance initiatives at YASH Technologies. With 20+ years of experience in IT infrastructure and enterprise service management, I have been responsible for managing and supporting environments encompassing 100,000+ endpoints across various engagements and organizations. My expertise includes vulnerability management, endpoint hardening, device compliance, and security-focused service delivery, with extensive experience implementing and managing processes aligned with ISMS, QMS, NIST, and CIS frameworks. I focus on strengthening security controls, improving operational resilience, and delivering compliant, reliable, and scalable IT services across large enterprise environments.

I’ve spent eighteen years running end user support and infrastructure operations at enterprise scale — healthcare, state government, and global accounts. The last several have focused on the operational side of security: patch compliance, CIS hardening, audit readiness, and the reporting that keeps leadership honest about risk.

My approach is pragmatic. Security controls only matter if the people running the service desk can execute them, so I translate frameworks — HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — into SOPs, dashboards, and escalation paths that hold up under audit and under pressure.

CISM, PMP, and ITIL certified, with an MBA in Management Information Systems from Osmania University. I’m also an IEEE Senior Member and author — see the research below.

Security isn't a separate team — it's how every ticket, patch, and escalation gets handled. My job is to make the secure path the default path for the people doing the work.

01 / VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT Enterprise patch & endpoint compliance program

Fleet-wide patch compliance and antivirus posture across 30,000+ endpoints using Tanium, SCCM/Intune, and WSUS. Trend reporting converts raw exposure data into a prioritized remediation queue the support org actually works through, with monthly compliance posture reported to leadership.

02 / HARDENING CIS benchmark hardening & GPO remediation framework

Built at IBM/Kyndryl: a reusable hardening baseline mapped to CIS benchmarks and delivered through Group Policy, paired with SOPs written so infrastructure and support teams could execute remediation without a security specialist in the room.
