Vinod is a certified cybersecurity professional and the CEO of infySEC, an accomplished cybersecurity firm.

As a young boy in the early 2000s, he simply could not fathom the fact that security on the internet was limited. The cyber space had just begun to take shape and was already under a lot of stress. He knew right then that his purpose in life was to build a safe and secure online environment for those of the present and the future. But he also knew all too well that he could not do it alone, and that’s why he started building an army, one that could walk alongside him, one that shared in his burning passion, and long-lasting dreams. infySEC was born out of the efforts to create this army.

infySEC

From founding to present


infySEC was founded in 2010. At first, Vinod hadn’t had the means to support his start up, no clients, no customers, and it seemed to be a dead end. So, he began training people, kept at it, and before long, he was training students and professionals from 250 educational institutions and corporates, some among them were companies he’d even applied his resume to before.

infySEC grew exponentially, registering a 250% growth year over year, and before long, it transcended from a consulting firm to a company that developed and sold security software.

Media Awareness Drives

Vinod has been featured in several talk shows, awareness programs, and myth debunking in collaboration with TV channels, news and online media. Prominently, he has demonstrated a war driving and credit card jacking experiment with NDTV and has been featured in Puthiya Thalaimurai’s ‘Cyber Thirai,’ a program that emphasizes the importance of online security.
