Senior Security Expert
Telstra

Rati Rani Mehrotra is a Senior Security Expert specializing in secure network and cloud architecture, with a strong focus on designing scalable, reference‑architecture‑aligned security platforms. She works in domain‑level solution design, translating strategic security principles into practical, reusable architectures that support modern hybrid and cloud‑native environments. Her work bridges strategy and implementation, ensuring security architectures are both technically robust and operationally viable.Rati’s experience centers on end‑to‑end security design across Network‑as‑a‑Service (NaaS)–aligned architectures, where security is abstracted into shared platform capabilities rather than embedded as bespoke, one‑off controls. She has led the design of architectures that embed identity‑centric trust, secure data pathways, and policy‑driven guardrails directly into network and platform layers, enabling consistent enforcement and scalability across environments.

She collaborates closely with security, network, platform, and operations teams to move organizations away from fragmented security implementations toward secure‑by‑design models that empower delivery teams while maintaining strong governance and data protection. Rati is particularly interested in how architecture, automation, and emerging technologies can be combined to improve security outcomes without increasing complexity. She brings a practitioner’s perspective to industry discussions, focusing on design patterns, lessons learned, and approaches that can be applied across organisations and sectors.
