Palak Gadher

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with 1+ year of experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and AWS security assessments. I identify, validate, and report security vulnerabilities across web applications, networks, and cloud environments.

In my current Cyber Security Analyst – VAPT role, I conduct VAPT engagements to uncover exploitable weaknesses and produce detailed vulnerability reports. I’ve assessed 500+ assets and identified 50+ vulnerabilities, including SQL Injection, XSS, IDOR, Clickjacking, authentication flaws, and security misconfigurations—then I work with development and IT teams to improve remediation and strengthen security controls.

I also build practical security tooling, like an AWS Cloud Misconfiguration Scanner using Python and boto3 to assess multiple AWS services and generate PDF reports with severity, remediation guidance, and mappings to CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA requirements. I’m CEH v13 and CRTA certified, and I enjoy hands-on testing with Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, SQLmap, and Python.
