Bandana Kaur — Security Consultant
I’m passionate about securing technology at every layer; from web and networks to APIs and AI systems, to humans. Basically, if it can be hacked, I want to understand how. My work spans hands-on vulnerability research, explorations into AI Security since I was 15, and policy conversations around the future of cybersecurity. I love yapping and sharing what I learn through talks, podcasts, and public writing, and I've spoken at international conferences and podcasts on topics ranging from OSINT and Social Engineering to attacks against LLM APIs. At the heart of it all, I care about building safer, more inclusive digital spaces. I believe the world must be secure to be liveable, and my motto as HackWitHer is “making the cyberspace liveable for all" and I mean that in the most practical (and occasionally chaotic) way possible. 👩💻 Reach me at bandana@hackwither.co.in
