Guru Charan

I’m an entry-level cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and SIEM-based threat detection. I’m proficient in Burp Suite, Nmap, Splunk, Python, and OWASP Top 10 methodologies, and I actively pursue bug bounty research and offensive security.

At Honda Cars India Limited, I executed vulnerability prioritization and patch management across enterprise automotive IT infrastructure, reducing the exposure window for critical CVEs. I also performed system hardening and collaborated with operations teams to analyze performance reports, identify security risks, and implement corrective measures.

I built practical security capabilities through my projects, including a “lightweight SIEM pipeline” ingesting 50,000+ log events for real-time anomaly detection and compliance tracking. I developed SPL queries, dashboards, and automated alerts that reduced incident response time by 40%.

I combine rigorous methodology with real-world testing: I conducted web application penetration testing and bug bounty research, identifying 12+ critical vulnerabilities such as XSS, IDOR, and authentication flaws. I’m also a co-inventor on an AI/ML deep fake detection system patent and achieved a “Hacker” rank on Hack The Box, reflecting how I learn, test, and improve under pressure.
