About
Amit Raut
Cybersecurity Architect passionate about building defensible systems and Zero Trust architectures.
I'm a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Workday with a focus on Security Architecture and Detection Engineering. With over 12 years of experience in cybersecurity, I design and implement defensible security architectures using Zero Trust principles, defense-in-depth strategies, and AI-driven automation to build robust defensive systems.
Prior to Workday, I was a Vulnerability Researcher at Trend Micro and a Senior Research Engineer at Cisco Talos, where I discovered and disclosed 0-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-5071, CVE-2019-5072), reverse engineered malware, and developed open-source security tools including Re2Pcap.
I'm the founder of OpenCyberLab, an initiative dedicated to building open-source, privacy-preserving security tools and educational content. I hold the GIAC Defensible Security Architecture (GDSA) certification, validating my expertise in designing strategic combinations of network-centric and data-centric controls.
