I have spoken at multiple international cybersecurity conferences and platforms, addressing both deeply technical audiences and early-career practitioners, with topics spanning AI security, detection engineering, and modern SOC evolution. At NDC Security 2026 Oslo, I shall deliver “Who Gave the Agent Admin Rights?! Securing Cloud & AI Machine Identities”, where I'll examine non-human identities, AI agents, and the emerging risks of autonomous privilege, focusing on governance, detection, and containment strategies in cloud environments. At BSides Pittsburgh and BSides Krakow, as well as at the Silicon Saxony Day (19th edition), I presented “Enhancing Open-Source IDS & SIEM Solutions into AI-Enabled XDR & SOAR Solutions in Cloud Environments”, focusing on extending open-source detection stacks with automation, ML-driven enrichment, and response orchestration to build scalable, analyst-effective security operations. In contrast, my session at BSides Buffalo, “From Curiosity to Cybersecurity: A Practical Guide to Getting Started and Standing Out”, was designed for students and early professionals, offering actionable guidance on skill-building, differentiation, and navigating cybersecurity careers. Beyond conferences, I have appeared on the Distilled Security Podcast, where I discussed how deploying specialised, small language models locally can significantly improve efficiency, reduce operational friction, and make AI-assisted security workflows more practical and trustworthy.

I spoke at about a dozen conferences so far, mostly always about Software Supply Chain Security / Application Security. I am a regular guest on several podcasts on the same topic as well. I spoke in front of small (a few dozen) and large audiences (several hundreds) both locally and internationally (North America and Western Europe). I spoke at BlackHat SecTor, OWASP Global AppSec, NorthSec, Linux Foundation's OpenSSF event, Munich Cyber TTP, etc.

Vinod has spent the past decade working in cybersecurity across financial services, government, and tech sectors. Currently a Staff Security Engineer at PIP Labs, he navigates the intersection of traditional enterprise security and the emerging world of Web3 and blockchain infrastructure.His journey has taken him through companies like Amazon, Zapier, and HackerOne, where he's gained hands-on experience in penetration testing, cloud security architecture, and application security. He works with AWS, GCP, and Azure environments, focusing on threat modeling and secure DevOps practices while approaching security as an enabler rather than a blocker.He shares his experiences and lessons learned through writing on Medium, breaking down complex security topics and exploring practical approaches to building security programs that work in real-world environments. Outside of his day job, he participates in bug bounty programs, mentors aspiring security professionals, and continues researching emerging threats and technologies in both traditional and Web3 security landscapes.
