About you
Cybersecurity professional with 5.8 years of experience in penetration testing, Red Team engagements, and security assessments across web, API, mobile, thick client, and network systems. Skilled in identifying vulnerabilities, simulating attacks, and enhancing security posture. Experienced in SIEM monitoring, cloud security reviews, and AI-driven application testing, with a focus on emerging technologies and proactive defense strategies.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am seeking a challenging role where I can leverage my expertise in penetration testing, Red Team engagements, and security assessments to drive proactive security strategies. I aim to contribute to strengthening an organization's security posture by working on cutting-edge technologies, including cloud security, AI-driven application testing, and advanced threat detection. A role that offers opportunities for continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation in addressing emerging cybersecurity challenges aligns with my goals.
What you are interested in working with us?
I am excited about this opportunity because the job description aligns well with my expertise in penetration testing, Red Team engagements, and security assessments. The chance to work remotely also suits my work style and allows me to contribute effectively while maintaining flexibility. I am eager to learn more about the organization, its vision, and how I can bring value to the team while growing professionally.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
In a previous role, one of the most challenging experiences I faced was during a Red Team engagement for a large organization with a highly complex and layered infrastructure. The challenge lay in bypassing advanced security mechanisms while maintaining stealth and simulating real-world attack scenarios. Additionally, coordinating with various teams to ensure minimal business disruption while achieving the engagement's objectives required meticulous planning and adaptability.
This experience pushed me to think creatively, utilize advanced tools, and refine my approach to problem-solving. Ultimately, we successfully identified critical vulnerabilities, which helped the organization enhance its security posture, making it a highly rewarding challenge.

Dear Team,

I am writing to express my keen interest in the Remote Information Security Analyst role. As a cybersecurity professional with over 5.8 years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, red teaming, and comprehensive security assessments across diverse platforms, I am confident in my ability to contribute to safeguarding and enhancing your organization’s security posture.
In my current role as an Information Security Analyst at Amdocs, I have honed my skills in identifying vulnerabilities and securing cutting-edge technologies, including AI-driven features and cloud-native applications. By conducting in-depth penetration testing and leading both manual and automated source code reviews using tools like Checkmarx, I have been able to deliver actionable insights that significantly strengthened product security. My proactive involvement in evaluating OpenShift Container Platforms and cloud security configurations further exemplifies my commitment to adapting to emerging technologies and threats.
Previously, at QSEAP, I spearheaded red team assessments, simulated real-world adversary tactics, and identified security gaps in corporate networks and applications. Through these efforts, I not only mitigated critical risks but also empowered financial organizations by delivering hands-on training in security best practices, elevating their readiness against cyber threats.
Some highlights of my qualifications include:
•
Proficiency in industry-leading tools like Burp Suite, Metasploit, Splunk, and Nessus.
•
Practical expertise in cybersecurity frameworks, including OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, and PCI DSS.
•
Recognized contributions to the cybersecurity community, including published Google Dorks in the Exploit Database.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experiences align with the needs of the team. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Sajan Dhakate
