Building the Sound of Security

I'm Sma Das, a cybersecurity professional at Warner Music Group based in New York. I specialize in application security, penetration testing, and building secure systems that protect organizations and their users.

With a background from Rochester Institute of Technology (Summa Cum Laude, 3.95/4.00 GPA), I combine deep technical expertise with a passion for research and knowledge sharing. My work focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, building defensive systems, and helping organizations stay ahead of emerging threats.
