Htet Naing Aung

With 14 years of comprehensive IT experience, I specialize in crafting advanced, cost-effective technology infrastructures aligned with strategic business objectives. Excelling in navigating today's cybersecurity challenges, I've honed expertise in effective threat management and developing automated incident response workflows, reducing resolution times significantly. My diverse skill set spans designing robust Cloud/Container security frameworks, AppSec strategies, SOAR, SIEM solutions, EDR, and XDR technologies for fortified security across diverse environments. I leverage SRE practices to construct both mutable and immutable infrastructures, adopting a proactive 'shifting left' security approach. Proficient in articulating clear solution proposals, I create comprehensive designs and engage effectively with stakeholders, utilizing strong communication skills. My technical proficiency extends to Linux/Unix systems, Platform/Security Engineering, Security Operation and DevOps/DevSecOps toolchains, specializing in Kubernetes platforms like EKS, AKS, GKE, and Red Hat OpenShift. Additionally, I have a proven track record in building Managed Security Service Platform (MSSP) globally, focusing on security operations, incident response, zero trust architecture, and compliance-driven security frameworks such as CIS, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, GDPR, and Canada Federal PBMM. Proficient in the latest networking technologies encompassing SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and SSE (Secure Service Edge) utilizing Cisco-based solutions, including ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker), SGW (Secure Gateway), DLP (Data Loss Prevention), and FwaaS (Firewall as a Service) I leverage Cyber Threat Intelligence tools such as VirusTotal and Palo Alto Cortex platform to proactively identify and mitigate security risks.In articulating clear and concise solution proposals for clients and internal stakeholders, I proficiently create comprehensive building blocks, High-Level Designs (HLD), Low-Level Designs (LLD), sequence/data flow diagrams, threat models, and end-to-end workflow representations. My adept communication skills facilitate effective engagement with customers possessing varying technical acumen and business understanding.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Distance Education, Yangon. Throughout my education, I focused on core areas like security engineering and Infrastructure/Cloud architecture, which built a strong foundation for my career in cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure. While my learning started formally, I’ve continuously expanded my knowledge through hands-on projects, professional certifications, and leadership roles in global tech environments.
