Mayuresh Kothari is an engineer by education with a Bachelors in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. He got into Cybersecurity by accident but now considers it Serendipity. His experience since then has been working for large cyber security vendors such as McAfee/Intel Security where he started in product development before moving to pre-sales, Symantec, CrowdStrike and now at Secureworks. Security as a part of the IT discipline is probably one of the most interesting pursuits because it tries to manage the mandate of protecting the organization while staying as invisible as possible to the end-user. This is what makes his life as a Cyber Security practitioner interesting.

On a personal front, he lives in Dubai with his wife and 2 kids, a boy and a girl, aged 6 and 2 respectively. So, most of his free time is spent juggling between being a girl dad and boy dad, so his skill set now includes Braids, Bluey and Lego Tecnic.
