School of Management alumni leave their mark in
more than 80 countries across the globe and in nearly
every industry. Take e-commerce. Right now, 10 grad-
uates from last year's Master of Science in Management
Information Systems (MS in MIS) class are leading
innovation at Amazon, the biggest e-commerce company
on the planet.
One of them is Anusha Amareshbabu, MS '16, a
native of Bangalore, India, who worked as a software de-
veloper in the telecommunications industry before com-
ing to UB. In the School of Management, she gained
business, leadership and analytical skills and shifted her
career goals after completing courses in information
assurance and digital forensics.
"UB gave me the right path to a career in cybersecu-
rity," she says. "I became a more confident person, better
communicator and better individual, all thanks to UB."
Today, Amareshbabu works for Amazon as an appli-
cation security engineer, charged with defending critical
retail applications. She consults with the product teams
on security architecture and design, identifies vulnerabil-
ities and develops plans to mitigate them, and delivers
security training across the company.
"Security is constantly evolving, as cyberattacks get
more sophisticated every day," she says. "That requires
me to stay updated on trends, learn advanced security
testing and enforce policies that build a safe barrier. It's
exciting."
