About Farida Banu
Cybersecurity engineer with 3 years of hands-on experience in Application Security at Tata Consultancy Services. I specialize in identifying and remediating vulnerabilities across web applications using SAST, DAST, SCA, and manual penetration testing techniques.My work spans the full security testing lifecycle — from threat modeling and code reviews to exploit testing using Burp Suite, OWASP methodologies, and automated scanning pipelines integrated into CI/CD workflows.What drives me is finding the vulnerability before the attacker does — and building processes that make teams ship securely by default. Currently open to Application Security Engineer and Penetration Tester roles in Bangalore (open to hybrid/remote). Key skills: SAST · DAST · SCA · Manual Pentesting · OWASP Top 10 · Burp Suite · Postman · DevSecOps · Threat ModelingLet\'s connect if you\'re hiring or want to talk security.
