DEEPIKA RAVI SHANKAR

Cybersecurity graduate with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and real-time alert systems. Skilled in log analysis, network monitoring, and alarm handling using tools like Wireshark, Linux audit frameworks, and intrusion detection systems.

About Me

I am a passionate and dedicated Cybersecurity graduate with solid academic grounding and hands-on experience in real-time threat detection, log analysis, network security, and vulnerability assessment. My technical expertise includes working with tools like Wireshark, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, Linux scripting, and intrusion detection systems to monitor, detect, and respond to cyber threats effectively.

I have worked on projects such as SSH Honeypot alert systems, real-time alert engines, and web application VAPT, which have strengthened my skills in incident response, log parsing, memory forensics, and threat modeling. These projects helped me build strong analytical and documentation skills to assess risks and propose accurate mitigation strategies.

During my internships, I gained practical exposure to network protocols, OSI models, firewall configurations, and hardware-level IT support, enabling me to understand both offensive and defensive security landscapes.

Known for my ability to stay calm under pressure, collaborate with teams, and maintain detailed incident records, I continuously pursue certifications and workshops to keep myself updated in a fast-changing cyber environment.

I’m enthusiastic about bug bounty hunting, ethical hacking, cloud and IoT security, and contributing to secure digital transformations in organizations. I look forward to joining a professional team where I can apply my knowledge, learn from experts, and grow into a strong cybersecurity professional.
