About

I'm Sudhakar Reddy — a cybersecurity engineer with 6+ years defending enterprises across VAPT, WAPT, API & mobile pentesting, SOC L1/L2/L3 operations, AI/LLM & GenAI security, cloud security (AWS / Azure / GCP), malware analysis and red-team adversary simulation — shipping production-grade defenses across Windows, Linux and cloud-native environments.

Alongside 100+ delivered projects for fintech, SaaS, healthcare and government clients, I freelance — delivering real-time security consulting, secure-architecture reviews, incident-response retainers and tailored remediation. I've also trained 4000+ students and corporate teams through hands-on labs, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned workshops and live attack/defense bootcamps.

What People Say

Voices from clients, students and security teams I've worked with worldwide.

"The API security assessment for our platform was outstanding. The expertise in GraphQL and REST security was pivotal in securing our microservices."

Marcus Thorne

@fintechsecurit

"Sudhakar built our entire detection stack from scratch. MITRE-mapped, tested with Atomic Red Team, and tuned to near-zero noise."

Priya Nair

@detectionengin

"Sudhakar is the best trainer for VAPT I've found — top-tier remote lab infrastructure and real-time project exposure."

Liam Johnson

@vapttraininggr

"Started as a complete beginner — six months later I cracked my OSCP and landed a junior pentester role. The labs are unreal."

Rohit Sharma

@juniorpenetrat

"Excellent cloud and AI security guidance with practical attack and defense techniques. A reliable partner for enterprise monitoring."

Klaus Schmidt

@cloudsecuritya

"His Active Directory module clicked things for me that 3 paid courses didn't. BloodHound finally made sense."

Ananya Iyer

@redteamtrainee

"The SIEM and EDR labs provided a very realistic environment. The mentorship helped me secure a SOC role in Doha!"

Fatima Al-Zahra

@socoperationsa

"I joined the SOC bootcamp jobless. Within 8 weeks I had two SOC L1 offers. Forever grateful."

Standards We Test Against

Every engagement is scoped and reported against recognized industry frameworks — not ad-hoc checklists.

Open Web Application Security Project

OWASP

Top 10 · ASVS · MASVS · API Top 10 — coverage matrices included in every report

Every finding is mapped back to a specific Top 10 category or ASVS/MASVS control ID for auditable, standards-based reporting.

National Institute of Standards and Technology

NIST

SP 800-115 testing guide · Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 mapping

Test methodology follows the SP 800-115 phases, and findings map cleanly to the CSF 2.0 functions your board already tracks.

Penetration Testing Execution Standard

PTES

Phase-by-phase coverage — pre-engagement through reporting

Every engagement runs through the full seven PTES phases, so nothing gets skipped between scoping and the final report.

ATT&CK & D3FEND Frameworks

MITRE

ATT&CK technique coverage · D3FEND defensive mapping

Offensive findings are tagged with technique IDs; defensive recommendations map to D3FEND countermeasures, not vague advice.

International Organization for Standardization

ISO

27001:2022 · 9001:2015 control alignment

Reports align to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls, making findings easy to slot straight into your certification evidence.

Common Weakness & Vulnerability Enumeration

CWE / CVE

Continuous mapping of disclosed vulnerabilities to your stack

Findings carry CWE classification and are cross-referenced against known CVEs affecting your exact dependency versions.
