About Thivya Padmini S

I am a Cybersecurity Analyst focused on Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), with hands-on experience in identifying and validating real-world security vulnerabilities across web applications, networks, and cloud environments.During my internship, I performed structured security assessments using tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, and Prowler, uncovering issues related to authentication, session management, misconfigurations, and exposed services. I also contributed to AWS security reviews, analyzing IAM policies, logging mechanisms, and access controls. A key strength I bring is security reporting - I have experience creating detailed VAPT reports aligned with CERT-In standards, including CVSS-based risk scoring, impact analysis, and clear remediation guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.I have also built a multi-language SCA tool (Hexora) that combines rule-based detection with AI-assisted analysis to identify OWASP-aligned vulnerabilities, along with CWE mapping and automated risk scoring. My focus is to grow as a security professional in offensive and risk-based security roles, where I can contribute to identifying critical vulnerabilities and improving the overall security posture of organizations.I am actively seeking opportunities in Cybersecurity Analyst / VAPT roles where I can apply my practical skills and continue building expertise in real-world security operations.
