Vinod’s Amazing Cybersecurity Conferences

When Vinod began his journey as an ethical hacker in the early 2000s, what he felt the most was that the ethical hacking space in India was still too small, uninformed, and had a lot of untapped potential. And when he began his career as an educator and a consultant, he hadn’t had the slightest idea on how to tap into this potential. Though the path was yet undiscovered, he eventually braved it and found his way through seminars, workshops, conferences, and business meets.

Today, Vinod is a regular speaker at major conferences like ISACA and (ISC)2. He has conducted several cybersecurity conferences for students, ethical hacking aspirants, and professionals, among which the EHack conference is the most notable, which had over 9000 participants and broke 13 world records.

Vinod’s passion for conducting cybersecurity conferences stems from his interest in bringing together people heading towards a common goal and nurturing the next generation of ethical hackers. Vinod’s conferences are lively, energetic, and informative as they don’t just focus on the technical know-how but also include live demonstrations.

Quotes

EHack was both fun and educational. The sheer number of people who gathered was astounding. But it was very well managed and the live hands-on was really useful. There were some engaging sessions with industry leaders after the live-hands on. I and my friends learned a great deal about ethical hacking from the conference. We’re looking forward to the next one.

Vinod has a strong presence and sound knowledge as well as plenty of experience to complement them. It has been exhilarating to gather at a place where you can find lots and lots of skilled people working towards a common goal. We may not all be in the same boat, but we’re heading towards the same destination. This in itself is a great opportunity for people like me who work independently, to get to know my peers and fellow ethical hackers.

Independent Ethical Hacker
I’m from one of the leading MNCs based out of India that collaborates with Vinod, so I’ve had my fair share of interaction with him, and based on that, I can say that he’s an amazing person inside out. Vinod is scintillating and quick-witted and his conferences carry a similar connotation. There’s a lot of weight behind his words as one can understand that they’re the product of his lifelong tour with cybersecurity.
