MyAppSecurity - Secure Your Applications

As some of you know that I joined WhiteHat Security as a Director of Education Services since Dec 2007 to build their training division from scratch. Though it has been a very demanding job but it has been very satisfying too. I enjoyed working with various companies, training their developers and QA professionals and resolving their web application security issues. Through training, I not only trained people at various companies but also got a chance to interact with different development and security professionals and understand the challenges they were facing and guided them in building a solution that works.

Though WhiteHat is more about finding problems (vulnerabilities) and they do a wonderful job of it, I consider myself more of a solutions guy, meaning how to fix those vulnerabilities and that is where my past experience as a developer and architect, helps me a lot. Not to mention my experience as a Technology Risk Officer at Citigroup, where I contributed in building a Technology Risk Management program to protect their web applications. So, being a solutions guy, training was a perfect fit for me at WhiteHat but now I want to do more than just training, I want to utilize my skills to help companies in addressing their web application security challenges through my own company "MyAppSecurity".

I also want to thank WhiteHat for giving me the opportunity to work with some of the brightest brains in the industry. Its been a wonderful experience and I got to learn so many things not just about the security field but also about on the operation side of a small business. I will definitely be using this experience in establishing my own company. I want to wish WhiteHat Security luck in achieving their goals. I am definitely keeping my stock options :)
