About me

I'm Chandu Atluri, a senior cloud security architect based in NY Metropolitan Area. Over 8+ years in IT — the last 5 focused specifically on enterprise cloud security — I've built my career around one question: how do you let teams move fast on GCP and Azure without leaving the front door open?

That's meant architecting Zero Trust environments, modernizing IAM platforms, and standing up defense-in-depth controls for multi-tenant cloud workloads. I've led security architecture reviews across 150+ cloud workloads, designed enterprise identity federation for Fortune 500 SSO rollouts, and automated cloud governance with Infrastructure-as-Code so security scales with engineering instead of trailing behind it.

I hold a CISSP and a Master's in Cybersecurity from NYU, and I spend a fair amount of time these days on the security side of AI adoption — training teams on AI-related risk and helping them adopt it safely.
