Khizar Mohammad

As a dedicated Security Consultant with over two years of experience, I specialize in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and risk management for critical infrastructures in banking and government sectors. I have successfully conducted more than 30 penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, achieving a remarkable 40% reduction in high-risk vulnerabilities. My expertise extends to IT-OT security integration, where I focus on securing banking, industrial, and web infrastructures using advanced security tools such as Nessus, Qualys, Burp Suite, and Splunk.

Currently pursuing my MS in Cybersecurity at Jönköping University, I am a strategic thinker with a problem-solving mindset. I have led various security initiatives, including comprehensive security audits and risk mitigation strategies that have significantly optimized security postures and ensured audit readiness. My experience includes managing security testing across multiple locations for a government power generation company, where I collaborated closely with operational technology teams to enhance cybersecurity for industrial control systems.
