I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Dinesh and he consistently delivers at the intersection of technical expertise, strategic insight, and inspiring leadership. Dinesh demonstrates not only mastery of cybersecurity frameworks but also a passion for nurturing the next generation—500K+ “cyber warriors” can attest to his commitment.
Beyond his technical prowess, Dinesh is a gifted mentor and communicator, whether through public speaking or creating engaging cybersecurity content. His unique journey, from gaming to ethical hacking, enhances his relatability and ability to convey deep technical insight in a compelling way.
In short: Dinesh brings a rare combination of depth, clarity, and community focus. Any organization would benefit immensely from his leadership, vision, and ability to empower others in cybersecurity.

I get a lot of folks reaching out to me asking for me to do their podcast, provide insight, etc. When Dinesh asked me to to his Cyber Voyage podcast, there was a authenticity and humility that I don't often see. Dinesh didn't talk about himself, he asked about me, and focused on how we could make the episode valuable for the listeners. Working with Dinesh was a great experience. He communicated professionally, asked thoughtful questions, and made the session engaging. Beyond cybersecurity, his dedication to consistently educating others through his YouTube channel is truly impressive. Glad to be part of his journey!

I am pleased to write this recommendation for Dinesh Manoharan, with whom I had the pleasure of collaborating during a recent interview on the topic of Cybersecurity. Dinesh invited me to his program as a guest, and I was deeply impressed by his professionalism, preparation, and insightful approach to the conversation.
From the outset, Dinesh demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject matter. His questions were not only well-researched but also thought-provoking, allowing for a meaningful and engaging dialogue. He created an environment that was both intellectually stimulating and respectful, showcasing his ability to guide complex discussions with clarity and purpose.
It was clear to me that Dinesh is not only passionate about technology and security but also committed to helping his audience understand these crucial issues in today’s digital world. His thoughtful communication style, attention to detail, and ability to connect with his guests make him an exceptional host and a valuable voice in the cybersecurity space.
Dinesh is fantastic to work with. He has a natural curiosity to "figure things out". Many times, in this field, you don't need to know the answer, but instead need to have the drive to find the answer. Dinesh certainly has that drive. Whether he decides to stay in the security space or not, I am more than confident that he will exceed in any area he ventures in. I truly do hope to cross paths with him again.

Dinesh is an outstanding cybersecurity professional whom I've had worked closely with. Dinesh possesses an exceptional blend of innate intelligence, unwavering dedication, and an insatiable hunger for learning in the realm of cybersecurity.
During our time working together, I was consistently impressed by Dinesh's deep understanding of complex cybersecurity concepts and their ability to translate that knowledge into effective solutions. His commitment to staying ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape is truly remarkable. Notably, He doesn't limit their expertise to the conventional - he proactively seeks out emerging trends and techniques, demonstrating a true passion for the field that goes beyond the call of duty.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dinesh for over a year now. He's assisted me in many projects, some were in his wheelhouse, some were not. He did a terrific job on all of them. His analytical and security skills are excellent, and he loves what he does and continues to do it in his spare time.

Dinesh is very passionate about success/winning. That is the main reason that drives him to stretch to any lengths to meet deadlines, be the Go-to person for getting the job done and to be flexible when the situation demands. His tryst with information/cyber security is engaging and he gives most of his time to learning the latest trends. I am sure his clients love him. He also spends his spare time identifying flaws in web/mobile applications and highlighting them to the respective authorities – which is commendable and has earnt him various accolades. His Capture the Flag sessions and Ethical hacking training sessions have been appreciated time and again. I have seen him in action and humbly opine that he will go places in his career.

I enjoyed working with Dinesh while at Symantec. Dinesh is an extremely talented Cyber Security professional. During his time at Symantec I found him to be extremely innovative and hard working. He is an asset to have especially in a difficult situation, he has the knack of sifting through the noise and finding the signals. He is very curious by nature and spends a lot of time building his knowledge and honing his skills.
From a team perspective, I have found him to be extremely collaborative and someone who always took time to help out. Recently he has started sharing the wealth of knowledge he has with a wider audience. I wish him all the very best in this as well as all future endeavors.
