Chirag Joshi has been honoured with two distinguished awards at the Australian Cyber Security Awards Night, including the top accolade, the Excellence Award.
Mr Joshi is the Founder and Chief Executive of 7 Rules Cyber – a cyber security consulting and thought leadership company focused on enabling businesses to be secure in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
He expressed his profound gratitude and excitement on LinkedIn, stating that words could not fully convey his emotions.
“Grateful. Excited. Thrilled. None of these capture do justice to how I feel. Being recognised with not one but two prestigious cyber awards in our nation’s capital is truly something else.”
The event, held amidst numerous notable figures from the Australian cyber industry, featured several esteemed CISOs. Winning the Excellence Award, which signifies exceptional contributions to cyber security, is an extraordinary achievement for Desai.
In addition to the Excellence Award, Mr Joshi also received the Cyber Security Consultant of the Year award in the SME category. This recognition highlights the innovative approach to cyber security championed by his firm, 7 Rules Cyber.
His areas of expertise include CISO advisory, cyber risk management, cyber strategy and architecture, security and technology governance, cyber transformation programs and security culture.
Reflecting on his journey, Mr Joshi recounted the significant leap of faith he took when he founded 7 Rules Cyber just over a year ago. Leaving a secure, well-paying job was not easy, but he believed that stepping out of comfort zones is essential for achieving great things.
“These recognitions motivate me to push myself even further. I know I stand on shoulders of giants. So many people have made many sacrifices for me to achieve these accomplishments.”
Mr Joshi extended his congratulations to all the winners and finalists and expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported him. He offered special thanks to Cyber Daily for organising such a fantastic event.
“The work continues. We will find a way to be even better or we will make one!!”
