Hareesh Kumar Kasi

As a dedicated penetration tester with over a year of experience, I specialize in identifying and exploiting system vulnerabilities to enhance security measures. My expertise lies in advanced penetration testing techniques, where I uncover hidden threats and provide strategic recommendations for improved protection. I am well-versed in ethical hacking methodologies and cybersecurity best practices, ensuring the implementation of robust defense mechanisms.

During my tenure at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I conducted comprehensive security assessments based on OWASP standards for both internal and external applications. My role involved performing tool-based security assessments, followed by meticulous manual validation of findings to eliminate false positives. I utilized tools such as OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and Nmap to scan applications for web vulnerabilities, documenting all testing methods and results, including impact, remediation, and recommendations for identified vulnerabilities.

I am passionate about creating secure coding guidelines and procedures to assist development teams in writing more secure code. My collaborative approach includes working closely with developers to patch vulnerabilities and enhance overall application security.
