Speaker Profile Aditya is a sought-after global speaker known for combining real-world incident experience, board-level clarity, and sharp storytelling. His talks are direct, pragmatic, and often challenge conventional cybersecurity thinking by reframing security as a leadership, risk, and decision-making discipline rather than a purely technical function. He has delivered keynote addresses and panel discussions at leading national and international forums, including major security summits, CISO councils, AI and threat intelligence conferences, cloud and data center conventions, and global CXO forums across the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Audiences value Aditya’s ability to move seamlessly between technical depth and executive relevance, using humor, real incidents, and sharp analogies to explain why cybersecurity fails, how due diligence breaks during M&A, and what boards should actually be asking when the breach call comes in.
