DEEPIKA RAVI SHANKAR

Cybersecurity Consultant

I am a Cybersecurity graduate with hands-on experience in threat detection, log analysis, network security, and vulnerability assessment. Skilled in tools like Wireshark, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Linux scripting, and IDS, I have worked on projects including SSH honeypot alert systems, real-time alert engines, and web app VAPT. My internships gave me exposure to network protocols, firewall configurations, and IT support, strengthening both offensive and defensive security skills. Passionate about ethical hacking, bug bounty, cloud, and IoT security, I aim to contribute to secure digital transformations while continuously learning and growing as a cybersecurity professional.
