Invited for 190 subclass visa from victoria early this year, expecting grant in 2026.

I’m Shafi Ur Rahman—a lifelong learner and cybersecurity advocate with 15+ years of hands-on experience in both tech and team leadership roles. My journey started with a passion for building things—first web and mobile apps, later fortified enterprise security systems.

What drives me is the ever-changing, dynamic nature of cybersecurity. I believe we’re in a never-ending dance with evolving threats, and our only option is to keep pace through knowledge, collaboration, and innovation.

I’ve grown through challenges at firms like Deloitte and now lead global offensive security programs at NTT DATA, helping companies improve their defensive strategies, adapt to regulatory changes, and achieve top certifications such as CISM, OSCP, CRTP, and CC(ISC)², I take pride in bridging technical depth with strategic thinking—grounded in my foundation in engineering (B.Tech, JNTU) and business leadership (MBA, Osmania).

I enjoy mentoring, sharing practical insights from real incidents, and championing communication between dev, security, and business teams. Whether it’s AI’s role in pentesting, the latest trends in Red Teaming, or lessons from vulnerability findings, you’ll find me talking about it here.

I help organizations identify, understand, and reduce their cyber risk exposure. I specialize in providing advanced Offensive Security services—including Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS), and Red Teaming engagements, along with source code reviews, API security testing, and DevSecOps integration. I design solutions that make cybersecurity actionable, ensuring your digital assets are tested not only for known risks but also for today’s most sophisticated threats.

My work involves hands-on assessments, strategy sessions, and end-to-end project management, tailored to organizations at every stage of their security journey. I’m actively involved in presales, pricing, solution design, and building security practices that add lasting value.

Above all, cybersecurity is a team sport. I love to exchange ideas with fellow practitioners and newcomers alike—because, together, we can raise the bar for the secure ecosystem.
