Glady Gladson

I’m a Cyber Security Analyst with 5.5 years of experience in Vulnerability Management, Web Application Security, API Security Testing, and Penetration testing. I focus on turning security signals into actionable findings that teams can remediate confidently.

In my current role at Cognizant, I manage enterprise Vulnerability Management using Qualys VMDR and AWS Inspector. I maintain continuous asset visibility, detect and prioritize vulnerabilities, and track remediation through to closure.

I perform regular assessments across servers, network infrastructure, web applications, and APIs—using OWASP-aligned testing approaches. I use Qualys WAS and manual testing with Burp Suite for web testing, and validate API security issues such as authentication, authorization, input validation, BOLA, and business logic flaws per OWASP API Top 10.

I also support SAST using Checkmarx and validate results through hands-on DAST-style workflows with Kali Linux and Burp Suite. I create clear security assessment reports with technical evidence, risk impact, and remediation recommendations, collaborating closely with application, infrastructure, and management teams.
