Aryan Akbar

I am a cybersecurity professional and penetration tester with a strong track record of identifying and responsibly disclosing critical security risks through authorized testing. Self-taught with a foundation built during my Matric (Computer Science) studies, I have earned multiple industry-recognized certifications and developed deep expertise in web security, ethical hacking, and OSINT research.

My work has contributed to securing assets for global organizations such as 3CX, Origin Protocol, SquareX, GulAhmed, and as well as major academic institutions across Pakistan such as AIOU, LUMS, NUST, NUCES, PU, and Aspire Colleges. The vulnerabilities I’ve reported span authentication bypasses, sensitive data exposure, injection flaws, and access control issues.

I am the Founder of CyberSecOrg, where I lead security assessments, penetration testing engagements, OSINT investigations, and comprehensive cybersecurity audits. I have developed advanced security tools and regularly contribute to red team style assessments simulating real-world attack scenarios.

Notably, I discovered and responsibly disclosed a critical authentication vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) in Shakepay’s financial platform, managing the full disclosure lifecycle from identification to remediation. My approach emphasizes structured testing methodologies, CVSS scoring, proof-of-concept development, and clear technical reporting, working closely with security teams to improve overall security posture.
