Safeguarding the organizational secrets with cybersecurity: Dheeraj Sharma

Cybersecurity is often sidelined in comparison to other attributes of a website or an organisational application. Cybersecurity is still a lesser-explored niche, one that is crucial to the survival of a website or a digital solution on the web. The small-tier websites and applications are the most vulnerable as they avoid spending even chump change on cybersecurity integration. This ignorance can cost surmounting losses, both to the finances and the reputation of a business. Dheeraj Sharma is a proficient cybersecurity analyst, who is aiding unsecured digital solutions of many businesses to reinforce their security and patch their existing vulnerabilities as soon as possible. Dheeraj Sharma is currently a valuable member of ICDA, a cybersecurity firm based in Uttarakhand that strives to safeguard your website and its contents from prying eyes.

Dheeraj Sharma's affliction for technology drove him towards cybersecurity as he began enjoying ethical hacking to learn about the vulnerabilities of different websites. He is a graduate of BTech with computer science as a major and holds numerous academic achievements to his name. Dheeraj Sharma was one of the few ethical hackers to features in the list of Asia Meetup's Top 400 Ethical Hackers for the year 2019-2020. Despite having so many achievements, he is still earnestly working to bring awareness about cybersecurity along with working with business and government organisations to improve their security as well.

Dheeraj Sharma explains the importance of cybersecurity implementation, especially if you are a business or a large government entity. He says, "Data holds unfathomable value today. It just can't be put into numbers. Many websites do not pay heed to persistent security reminders and even visible flaws in the system. A penetrated system no longer holds credibility in the user's eye. Their trust is lost and cannot be regained easily. A breached website becomes impossible to recover unless you have an actual cybersecurity expert with multifaceted experience with different breaches by your side. Moreover, think about the amount of data theft that can lead to exposed credentials and personal information of your employees, customers and business operations. This can easily manifest into a ransomware attack that won't allow regaining access unless you supply an exorbitant amount of money. So if you want to avoid such losses, get hasty with the hiring process of a cybersecurity expert and reinforce the security of your website."

Dheeraj Sharma took up cybersecurity only because he wanted to learn about how attackers somehow manage to creep into the system even with some basic security measures enabled. He confirms the standards of ethical hacking and only prepares to test website security after getting approval from the client. Dheeraj Sharma continues to work long nights because cybersecurity isn't a 10-page manual that you can learn and be done with it. The attackers continue to get crafty and it is the responsibility of cybersecurity analysts to be aware of the fresh threats that could become dangerous in future.
