From auditing CBI systems to mentoring 2,000+ students, Sanjay Singh proves cybersecurity is about protecting people, not just machines, one vulnerability, one learner at a time.
Sanjay Singh is a proactive and accomplished cybersecurity professional who has built an exceptional portfolio of achievements. But what stands out most is how he balances deep technical work with a genuine passion for helping others learn.
On the technical side, Sanjay has done some serious work. He has discovered two Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures which means he found real security flaws in actual applications and got them officially recognized. He conducted a security audit for the CBI, identifying 14 vulnerabilities in an upcoming government website. He has trained with the Gurugram Police and Amroha Police, getting hands-on experience in digital forensics, cyber laws, and threat intelligence. He also earned his Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification while interning at ZeroRisk Labs, where he worked on securing cloud infrastructure.
But what really makes Sanjay different is how much he gives back. He emphasizes explaining security concepts in simple, accessible ways, particularly for students beginning their journey. He has mentored over 150 students through one-on-one sessions on Topmate.io, and his impact was so visible that he got featured on their landing page and even on a Times Square Billboard in New York. He founded Coding Saathi, a community platform where he has mentored more than 2,000 interns through live sessions and hackathons.
Earlier, he built four Android apps that together crossed 3 million downloads, showing he can think like a product builder too. He implemented influencer marketing strategies and optimized performance, gaining comprehensive experience in the app development lifecycle. He has authored research papers on machine learning and cybersecurity, “Adversarial Attacks on Machine Learning Models in Cybersecurity: A Systematic Literature Review” and “Machine Learning for Cyber Defense: Comprehensive Survey of Datasets and Techniques for Network, Host and Application Based Cyber Attacks.” He keeps pushing himself through platforms like TryHackMe, where he has completed over 30 rooms covering everything from Linux to Metasploit.
Academically, he has received the Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies Best All Rounder (PG) Annual Student Award in 2025, acknowledging his holistic excellence at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies. He also received the Student Achiever’s Award in the Special Category from Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce, in 2024 for running the Coding Saathi community and mentoring over 1,000 students within six months.
At his core, Sanjay is driven by curiosity and a need to act. As he puts it, he is the kind of person who volunteers to take the reins instead of waiting around. Sanjay Singh views cybersecurity not merely as a technical discipline but as a field that secures people, not just computers. His motivation stems from a drive to explore, initiate, and make tangible impact. He characterizes himself as someone who volunteers to take the reins rather than waiting for others to act.
