Mihir Shah

Mihir Shah As a Security Engineering Lead at Google Cloud, I help shape the security posture of the world’s most scalable cloud infrastructure, ensuring our products are secure by design and by default. My work bridges deep technical analysis with strategic influence: from leading investigations into complex cloud vulnerabilities and threat detection at scale, to empowering engineering teams through secure design frameworks, automation, and developer-first tooling. I’m the author of the Amazon best-seller Cloud Native Software Security Handbook and creator of the OWASP VXDF standard, used globally to validate exploitability in real-world data flows. I also serve as an industry mentor at Stanford University, helping the next generation of security leaders translate research into practice. I speak at AppSec and Cloud Security conferences including OWASP Global AppSec and Black Hat Middle East. My mission: to make scalable systems verifiably secure without slowing innovation.
