As of late 2022, Subramaniam Ramasubramanian is a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) student at the University of Melbourne's School of Computing and Information Systems.

His Ph.D. aims to reduce leakage of sensitive digital assets such as trade secrets, blueprints, etc., that underpin the innovation process in organizations caused by the nation-state and non-state actors' cyberattacks.

Organizations are increasingly investing in developing new products and/or services into the marketplace. Organizations use formal methodologies or innovation processes for developing and commercializing new products and/or services. Organizations use digital technologies during the innovation process to perform analytical searching behaviors on sensitive digital assets. However, the advanced persistent threat actor cyberattacks target these organizations during the innovation process to steal these sensitive digital assets for commercial gains to organizational competitors.

Cybersecurity management approaches preventing, detecting, and responding to advanced persistent threat actor cyber-attack incidents using formal, informal, and technical controls. These controls are deficient in reducing the leakage of sensitive knowledge assets. This is because organizations lack guidance on managing cybersecurity data as controls to prevent, detect, and respond to advanced persistent threat actor cyber-attack incidents during the innovation process.

His research follows systematic planning and execution with a design science research methodology to advance knowledge for cybersecurity management practitioners and theorists. His research study aims to guide cybersecurity practitioners to designing a cybersecurity management approach in an organization to reduce leakage of sensitive digital assets caused due to advanced persistent threat actor cyber-attack during the innovation life-cycle.

Subramaniam's interests are to lead projects and programs relating to cybersecurity software and information technology (IT) services. His interest includes leading teams following agile principles and methodologies to planning and executing security software and IT services. Subramaniam has experience in leading cross-functional engineering, business, and operation teams in Microsoft Corporation, Seattle, and Symantec Corporation, in India, in delivering core cybersecurity technologies for Symantec's consumer and enterprise products and IT services for Microsoft's human resources business.

Subramaniam pursued his Masters of Science in Information Management from the University of Washington's Information School, graduating in 2009. Before obtaining an MS degree, Subramaniam pursued a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Kongu Engineering College, Anna University in India, graduating in 2005.
