Swetha B — Security Engineer
Hi, I am Swetha, a security engineer who thinks like an attacker and builds like a defender. My journey has taken me from web application pentesting to cloud security engineering, and now into building automated defense systems and zero-trust frameworks at scale. I hold a Master's in Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland, where I focused on penetration testing, incident response, and cloud security. Along the way, I have contributed at organizations like Wipro and the UMD Security Operations Center, reducing alert fatigue by 30%, automating incident response, and remediating critical AWS vulnerabilities before attackers could exploit them. Here is what drives me: → Building detection systems that catch real threats, not just generate noise → Automating security at scale, from PKI rotation to compliance enforcement → Bridging offensive and defensive security to create defenses that actually work → Making security accessible for developers and operators, not just security teams Certifications: 🔐 OSCP / OSCP+ (Offensive Security) ☁️ AWS Solutions Architect ☁️ AWS Cloud Practitioner 🛡️ CompTIA Security+ 🎯 eJPT (Junior Penetration Tester) I care more about solving real problems than collecting badges. I am currently exploring how AI can augment security workflows and recently built an RBVM dashboard that prioritizes vulnerabilities using threat intelligence from CISA and EPSS. My toolkit: Python, Go, Bash | AWS Security Services | ELK, Splunk | Burp Suite, Metasploit 🚀 Currently open to security engineering roles in cloud security, detection engineering, or security platform development where I can combine offensive expertise with building scalable, automated defenses.
