About

Mustafa Faek Banikhalaf

Cyber Security Instructor at CyberA4U | Junior Offensive Security Engineer | DevSecOps | AI Agentic Automation

I'm a Cybersecurity Associate with a strong focus on offensive security and a growing interest in Red Teaming, alongside a shift toward DevSecOps. My work centers on web application penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, backed by security scripting and automation. I also bring a defensive perspective from time spent on SOC workflows and incident response, which helps me think like both the attacker and the defender when approaching a target. Before security, I worked in infrastructure and IT support, managing servers and hardening systems day to day. That background shapes how I approach offensive work now understanding how systems are built makes it easier to find where they break. Always open to connecting with people working in security, Red Teaming, or DevSecOps.
