About Me

Hi, I'm Lokesh Attoor, an IT infrastructure and cybersecurity consultant based in Chennai, India.

I've spent over 10 years in enterprise IT, starting as a sysadmin and working my way up to leading engineering teams across countries. Today I'm the person who gets the call when a security incident needs containing or a critical system needs fixing at 2 AM.

What I work with

• Microsoft cloud & security: Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Defender, Purview and Azure
• Network security: firewalls from Sophos, SonicWall and FortiGate
• Backup & disaster recovery: Veeam
• Vulnerability management: finding and patching security gaps before attackers do
• Compliance: ISO 27001 internal auditor, TISAX audit delivery

What I'm building

• LMK: managed IT and security consulting for businesses in Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK
• The Tiny Wraps: a gifting and stationery brand

Why this blog

AskLoke is my space to write about whatever's on my mind: tech and security lessons from the field, travel, food, and the occasional experiment. If something took me hours to figure out, I'll write it down here so it takes you minutes.

Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
