Rishabh Vyas

Enthusiastic Cybersecurity Engineer and recent graduate from the National College of Ireland with a Masters degree in Cyber Security and B.Tech in Computers and Communication from Manipal University Jaipur. Skilled in programming languages (C, C++, Java, Python) as well as network and web security, penetration testing, smart contract creation, Kali Linux tools, Android Studio, and Machine Learning. Committed to innovative cybersecurity solutions that merge strategic insight with technical excellence.

• As a part-time remote Junior Data Analyst Consultant for a biotech company in India, I possess strong skills in statistics, data analysis, and programming languages such as Python and SQL.
• Additionally, I have gained experience in the field of cybersecurity, including firewall handling, which has allowed me to apply best practices in data security to protect sensitive information.
• I work collaboratively with my team in India to analyze and interpret data, while effectively communicating my findings to stakeholders.

In the realm of application and web development security, my focus has been on creating robust and secure digital environments. This involves not only crafting websites and applications but also conducting comprehensive testing for vulnerabilities. By actively engaging in bug hunting, I identify and rectify issues, particularly those outlined in the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

As part of a project, I deployed a web application on a cloud platform, addressing its configuration, implementation, and evaluation with a strong emphasis on security. Through this project, I applied appropriate security methods to fortify the system against potential threats.

Furthermore, I delved into penetration testing, establishing a virtual environment for testing purposes. Employing various penetration testing tools, I conducted assessments on existing vulnerable virtual machines from platforms like VulnHub. This hands-on experience allowed me to hone my skills in identifying and mitigating security risks.

In a separate initiative, I explored the integration of blockchain technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. Investigating its advantages and implications, I contributed to the implementation by writing smart contracts. These contracts not only facilitated communication but also worked in conjunction with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) prevention tools within a Software-Defined Networking (SDN)-based domain. The innovative use of blockchain technology in this context aimed at enhancing security measures with each block mined in a private blockchain. This multifaceted exploration reflects my commitment to staying at the forefront of security practices and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to create resilient and protected digital ecosystems.
