ForBaljit,everycaseservesasareminderofhis mission—toprotectbusinesses,individuals,andtheir digitalassetsfromcyberthreats.

Withover15yearsofexperience,Baljithasestablished himselfasaleadingcybersecurityexpert.Asthefounderof ArtofCyberSecurity,hehashelpedstartups,Fortune500 companies,andgovernmentagenciessafeguardtheir systemsagainstattacks.Hisjourneybeganwithasimple realization:cybersecurityrevolvesaroundpeople,risks,and proactivesolutions.

TheEarlyDays:ANaturalCuriosityforSecurity

Baljit’sfascinationwithtechnologystartedearly.While earninghisBachelor’sdegreeinComputerEngineering,he becamedeeplyinterestedinsecurity—understandinghow systemsoperate,howtheycanbeaccessed,andmost importantly,howtheycanbesafeguarded.Thispassion drovehimtopursueaMaster’sdegreeinInformation Security,strengtheninghisexpertiseintheﬁeld.

Ashesteppedintotheprofessionalworld,hequickly gainedhands-onexperienceinpenetrationtesting,digital forensics,incidentresponse,andgovernance,risk,and compliance(GRC).Alongtheway,heearnedmultiple certifications,includingCertifiedEthicalHacker(CEH)and LicensedPenetrationTester(LPT),reinforcinghisskills. Alwayseagertoexpandhisknowledge,heisnowworking towardhisCISA,CISM,andCISSPcertifications—because incybersecurity,learningevolveseveryday.

TheBirthofArtofCyberSecurity

Duringhisyearsincybersecurity,Baljitnoticedapattern. Manybusinesses,especiallysmallandmid-sizedones,face

difﬁcultiesinmanagingcybersecurity.Somehad limitedresources,whileotherswereoverwhelmedby complexsecuritysolutionsthatdidn'talignwiththeir needs.

“Ikeptseeingthesameproblem,”Baljitrecalls. “Companiesknewcybersecuritywasimportant,but theydidn’tknowwheretostart.Somethoughtitwas tooexpensive,whileothersdidn’tunderstandwhat theyreallyneeded.”

ThisgapintheindustryledhimtolaunchArtof CyberSecurity—acompanybuiltontheprinciplesof accessibility,proactivity,andpracticality.Histeam goesbeyondofferingsecuritytools;theyhelp businessesunderstandrisks,trainemployees,and buildastrongdefenseagainstcyberthreats.

“IlaunchedArtofCyberSecuritytoprovidetailored, cost-effective,andproactivecybersecuritysolutionsto helpbusinessesprotectthemselveswithoutbreaking thebank,”saysBaljit.

HowArtofCyberSecurityHelpsBusinesses

“ArtofCyberSecuritywasbornfromadeeppassion forcyberdefenseandriskmanagement,”saysBaljit.

Everyorganizationencountersuniquesecurity challenges,yetsomeconcernsarewidespread.Many ofBaljit’sclientsseeksupportwith:

●Compliancerequirements–Navigatingregulations likeHIPAA,SOC2,GDPR,andPCIDSScanbe complex,requiringexpertguidance.

●Cyberthreats–Fromransomwareandphishing attackstoinsiderrisks,businessesneedproactive strategiestostrengthentheirdefenses.

●Securityexpertise–Maintainingafull-time securityteamisn’talwaysfeasible,makingexpertdrivensolutionsessential.

●Incidentresponse–Whenasecuritybreachoccurs, immediateactioniscriticaltominimizingdamage.

ArtofCyberSecurityspecializesinpenetration testing,vulnerabilityassessments,digitalforensics, incidentresponse,securitytraining,governance& compliance,andmanagedsecurityoperations.Their clientsrangefromstartupstolargeenterprisesacross industries,likehealthcare,ﬁnance,e-commerce,and technology

At Art of Cyber Security,thefocusgoesbeyond offeringservices—it’saboutdeliveringtailored, long-termsecuritysolutions.Adeﬁningfeature ofthecompanyisitshands-onapproach.While manyﬁrmsrelysolelyonautomatedtools, BaljitandhisteamintegrateAI-driventhreat detectionwithhumanexpertise,identifying securitygapsthattechnologyalonemay overlook.

Pleasenote: “Opinions expressed in this interview are my own and not the views of my employer,” DavidWebb.

MR:You’reknownbythenickname“Spud.”What’s thestorybehindthat?

David:Well,it’sabitofabasketballreference.For thosewhoknowNBAbasketball,thenicknamecomes fromSpudWebb,theprofessionalbasketballplayerwho famouslywontheSlamDunkContestin1986.

Backintheearly1990s,whenIplayedonanAirForce basketballteam,thenamestuck.Iwasheavilyinto basketballthen,playingforthreedifferentAirForce baseteams.Oneofthehighlightsofthattimewasbeing partofateamthatwonanAirForceBase Championship.It’sanicknametiedtomypassionfor basketballandthosecompetitiveyearsonthecourt.

MR:Couldyoubrieﬂyshareyoureducational backgroundandcareerjourney?Whatsparkedyour interestincybersecurity?

David:Myintroductiontocomputerscameinhigh school,whereIwasoneofafewselectedforacomputer programmingandexposureprogram.AlthoughIdidn’t excelatit,theexperiencepiquedmyinterest.Afterhigh school,Iattendedjuniorcollegetobecomeamath teacher.Itooksomecomputerprogrammingand databasecoursesthere,butIdidn’tperformwell.Life thentookaturn,andIdecidedtojointheUnitedStates AirForce.

Whileonactiveduty,Iwasencouragedtopursue furthereducation.IstartedwithaCommunity CollegeoftheAirForcedegreeandlaterearned mybachelor’sdegreefromStrayerUniversityin 1999,despitemovingthreetimesandattending fourdifferentcolleges.Alongtheway,I’vebeen fortunatetoencounteruniqueopportunitiesthat propelledmygrowth.

Throughoutmycareer,I’vealwaysbeenopento newopportunities,evenwhenIwasn’tentirely surewhatIwassteppinginto.I’veworkedin rolesrangingfrombasicadministrativetaskstoa shortstintwiththespecialoperationscommunity, helpingbuildamilitarycommunicationstraining pipelineforaforeignnation,andmanaginga $110millionsoftwaredevelopmentprogramfora defensivecyberoperationsplatform.

MR:Canyoushareyourcurrentroleatthe CybersecurityandInfrastructureSecurity Agency(CISA)andthefocusofyourwork?

MR:Cybersecurityofteninvolvesbalancing riskandinnovation.Howdoyouapproachthis delicatebalance?

David:Riskandinnovationareclosely tied—there’salwaysariskversusrewardaspect toconsider.Asacommunity,Ibelievewemust adoptalifecyclemanagementperspectivewhenit comestosecuresoftwareandhardware.The processbeginswithbuildingsecurecodeand hardwarefromtheoutset,ensuringthatthese systemsaresecureatthetimeofdelivery

Itdoesn’tstopthere,though.Maintainingthe cybersecurityofthesesystemsrequiresa collaborativeeffortbetweenvendorsandusers.

Together,wemustworktoensurethesesystemsremainsecure throughouttheirlifecycle,upuntiltheyarephasedout.This comprehensiveapproachiscrucialforstayingaheadintheeverevolvingcybersecuritylandscape.

MR:Fromyourperspective,whatarethemostpressing cybersecuritythreatsorganizationsfacetoday,andhowcan theyaddressthemeffectively?

David:Basedonmyexperience,threekeycybersecuritythreats standout,andaddressingthemcansigniﬁcantlyimprovean organization'ssecurityposture.

MR:There’songoingdebateabouttheroleof formaleducationversuscertiﬁcationsforleadership inITandcybersecurity.What’syourtakeonthis?

David:Bothformaleducationandcertiﬁcationshave theirplace,buttherequirementsshouldalignwiththe role’sresponsibilities.Formaleducationoffersabroad knowledgebaseandcriticalthinkingskills,while certiﬁcationsprovidetargetedexpertiseandpractical insights.
