About Rahil Sahu

As a passionate Cybersecurity Engineer with a strong foundation in software development, I am driven by the challenge of securing digital landscapes in an increasingly complex world. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), I have strengthened the security of web, network, and mobile applications by identifying and reporting over 700 vulnerabilities, including critical issues like Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Privilege Escalation. Currently, I serve as a Penetration Tester at TeamLease RegTech Pvt. Ltd, where I focus on vulnerability discovery, source code reviews, and managing security tools like Wazuh (via Docker), OpenRport for secure remote server access, and Nessus for vulnerability management. I am committed to delivering solutions that address immediate security risks while also building long-term resilience. Beyond core technical responsibilities, I have proactively led security awareness initiatives, including phishing simulation campaigns using tools like GoPhish and Evilginx, helping organizations strengthen their defense against social engineering threats. I also conduct secure coding training sessions for development teams, promoting best practices and driving a culture of secure software development. Previously, at Softude by Systematix Infotech Pvt. Ltd, I played a key role in securing applications against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, driving ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance efforts, and automating secure workflows using Python and AWS services to enhance the security posture of critical projects. In addition to cybersecurity, I have a strong interest in AI technologies, with hands-on experience using Auto-GPT and Hacker-GPT, exploring innovative intersections between cybersecurity and emerging tech. My journey in tech began as a Java Developer Intern, where I developed applications that were not only functional but also secure, laying the foundation for my cybersecurity expertise. I am always eager to connect with professionals who are passionate about cybersecurity, secure development, and AI innovation. Whether it's for collaborations, knowledge exchange, or exploring new opportunities, I’m excited to contribute to the evolving tech landscape.
