Swetha Naga Venkata

With 5 years of experience in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and cybersecurity, I specialize in designing and implementing secure, scalable PKI solutions. My expertise includes managing private CAs using Microsoft ADCS and working with Public CAs such as DigiCert and GoDaddy to ensure comprehensive certificate management. I am skilled in handling the full lifecycle of digital certificates—issuance, renewal, revocation, and expiration—ensuring seamless integration with critical systems.

I also have hands-on experience using OpenSSL for certificate generation, signing, and troubleshooting, facilitating secure communication across platforms. Additionally, I have contributed to securing workloads and ensuring compliance in cloud environments, leveraging AWS and Microsoft Azure to implement robust security solutions aligned with industry standards and best practices.

I have successfully set up and managed Root and Subordinate Certificate Authorities (CAs), implemented CRLs ,AIA and OCSP responders, and automated certificate management using tools like Venafi and PowerShell scripting. Leveraging my knowledge of compliance frameworks like NIST and GDPR, I help organizations maintain robust and regulation-aligned PKI operations.

My work involves integrating PKI with applications such as web servers, VPNs, smart card login and email encryption (S/MIME) while collaborating with cross-functional teams to tailor solutions that align with business objectives. I also have experience in troubleshooting complex certificate-related issues and proactively monitoring PKI environments for optimal performance and reliability.

By combining technical expertise with strategic insight, I empower businesses to secure digital communication and data integrity. Let’s connect to discuss opportunities or share insights on PKI, AWS, and cybersecurity solutions!

I am skilled in creating detailed reports and visualizations using Tableau and Power BI, which allow me to effectively communicate findings and insights to stakeholders. Working closely with internal teams, I have contributed to implementing security measures and enhancing the performance of PKI systems.

I have also worked extensively with Akamai CDN, DNS, DHCP, ADCS and Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems.
