Summary
Navaneeth Sivakumar is a Cyber Security & Identity Platforms Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience spanning penetration testing, security engineering, and research-driven software development. With a Master of Cyber Security from the University of Adelaide and a strong software engineering background, he bridges offensive testing, blue-team defenses, and identity/access management across SIEM, EDR, SailPoint and privileged access systems. He has contributed to published LLM-evaluation research and built tooling—like an Ansible mutation-testing technique and a Neo4j-based orchestration knowledgebase—that demonstrate a blend of applied security and reproducible research. At Adelaide University he has driven vulnerability assessments, incident detection, and governance-aligned risk remediation using NIST, ISO 27001 and ASD Essential Eight. Curious about AI’s role in security, he experiments with LLMs for penetration workflows and infrastructure-as-code testing while maintaining a penchant for CTF write-ups and community education.
