We had an enormous amount of fun talking with Ashish about his journey in #InfoSec, the focus he has around #Cloud Security and how he became a specialist in that area. We really loved how passionate Ashish is both about developing knowledge and also sharing that knowledge with the wider InfoSec #community. Ashish oozes passion for the industry and also hosts his own Cloud Security Podcast and YouTube Channel - both of which you should definitely check out as they're packed full of fantastic content.

Want to get started in the industry? Want to re-train, upskill and transform an organisation? Here Ashish's insights into how to accomplish just that.
