Gaurav Singh
Manager,
SAP Cyber Security
Nearly 18 years ago, following my Bachelor's degree in Engineering, I secured a position with a prominent IT organization in India. There, I contributed to a project supporting one of the world's leading Oil and Gas organizations. Initially tasked as a System Administrator, my responsibilities revolved around managing ERP/SAP applications critical to the operations of global enterprises. It was during this time that my interest in cybersecurity blossomed. Transitioning to IBM, I embraced a role in Security, departing from my administrative duties. Since then, I've maintained a fervent commitment to learning, recognizing that cybersecurity is an ever-evolving domain with perpetual challenges. Over the past decade, my tenure at Under Armour has been particularly transformative, as the significance of cybersecurity has soared amid technological advancements like cloud computing and AI. I view cybersecurity as an ongoing journey, and I thrive on the dynamic nature of this field, continually striving to safeguard our digital assets.
