Making Meaningful Contributions: Meet Abhishek Kumar Sah
Originally published on GoDaddy Resource Library Can you describe your journey to becoming a Senior Security Engineer and what inspired you to choose this career path? My journey into cybersecurity has been an exciting one. I started my career over a decade ago, focusing initially on infrastructure monitoring, application monitoring, and other related areas. In those early years, I developed a strong foundation in managing and maintaining critical IT systems. As I learned more about the growing risks in the digital world, I found myself drawn to cybersecurity. The idea of protecting systems and data from evolving threats fascinated me. Over the years, I transitioned from monitoring to protecting, working hands-on with evolving threats and building defenses. Today, as a Senior Security Engineer at GoDaddy, I focus on building and fine-tuning threat detection strategies to protect our environment. What continues to inspire me is the dynamic nature of this field—there's always something new to learn, and the work we do directly contributes to keeping organizations secure. Can you share a memorable experience that reflects a value of our company? One experience that stands out was when our team was working on building a comprehensive Detection Library and a Data Dictionary from scratch. It was a huge challenge, but we believed in 'Owning Outcomes' and 'Building Value' for the organization. We worked together across teams—Detections, Monitoring, IR, CTI, and SOC analysts—to create over 1,100+ detections that improved our security posture. There were tight deadlines and technical hurdles, but we stayed committed, constantly sharing ideas, and helping each other out. This collaboration was a great example of 'Joining Forces' and 'Working Courageously', because we weren't afraid to try new approaches. Looking back, the success of that project made me realize how passionate and driven our teams are. It truly embodied the spirit of GoDaddy's values. I definitely can't take all the credit for this. It was a complete team effort, and I was lucky to work alongside some amazing colleagues. What makes GoDaddy different than any other company in India? For me, what makes GoDaddy stand out is its culture of ownership and collaboration. Every individual here is encouraged to take responsibility for their work and make meaningful contributions. At the same time, there's a strong sense of teamwork. People are always willing to help each other, share knowledge, and work together to solve complex problems. Another thing that makes GoDaddy special is its focus on innovation and learning. The leadership team is committed to enhancing employees' skills and consistently supports the exploration of new ideas or methods to improve security. This environment motivates me to do my best every day. How do you approach constant learning in the field of security, and what resources do you find most valuable? In cybersecurity, standing still isn't an option—threats evolve daily. Personally, I make it a habit to read blogs, whitepapers, and research articles regularly. Some of my favourite resources include blogs from SANS Institute, MITRE ATT&CK updates, and cybersecurity communities like Medium's InfoSec section and Reddit's NetSec. At GoDaddy, I'm lucky to have teammates who share knowledge freely, so our discussions often turn into learning sessions. For me, it's about staying proactive and soaking up as much as I can from diverse sources. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Outside of work, I take great interest in playing cricket and badminton. I am fortunate to be a part of GoDaddy, a company that actively promotes a healthy work-life balance and encourages employee well-being. Additionally, I dedicate time to reading, which not only offers me relaxation but also broadens my perspective and supports my continuous personal growth. I like to listen to podcasts, especially those related to tech, personal growth, or storytelling. Are you enjoying this series and want to know more about life at GoDaddy?

M&S warns cyber attack disruption will last until July and hit profits by £300m
Marks and Spencer has said disruption from a major cyber attack is expected to continue through to July and reduce operating profits by around £300 million before action to offset the hit. The company has revealed its performance to investors on Wednesday in an update to the stock market, and said that its online sales and profits in its fashion, home and beauty department have been 'heavily impacted'. It is almost a month since the retailer was first impacted by a major 'cyber incident', reportedly linked to hacking group Scattered Spider. Hackers were able to secure customer personal data, which could have included names, email addresses, dates of birth and postal addresses during the attack. As a result, they have had to pause online orders for the past three weeks while payments and click and collect orders were also impacted. Empty shelves were seen in some stores as availability of items was also knocked by the disruption with the company having to change parts of its IT systems.

Cyber-attack cost Marks & Spencer £300m in lost sales, company results reveal
Marks & Spencer has said it will lose an estimated £300m as a result of a damaging cyber-attack that has forced it to halt online orders and struggle to keep store shelves stocked. The number was revealed as M&S said annual pre-tax profits rose a better than expected 22% to £876m ahead of the cyber attack. The company said it had over £400m of net funds in the bank so that it was 'in the best financial health we've been in 30 years' ahead of the attack and the expected financial impact would be mitigated by insurance and other actions. The UK's biggest clothing retailer, which also sells food and homeware, has been battling to recover for a month since its IT systems were hit over the Easter weekend. The attack forced M&S to stop orders via its website, through which it sells fashion, homeware and gifts, while deliveries of food and fashion into stores and some deliveries to its online food partner, Ocado, have also been disrupted. M&S has also admitted that some personal information relating to thousands of customers – including names, addresses, dates of birth and order histories – was taken in the cyber-attack. The attack, which has been attributed to the hacking collective Scattered Spider, began days before similar cyber-attacks launched against the Co-op and Harrods emerged. More details soon …
