Hala Naaz • Red Teaming • AI Security • Security Research

From Non-Tech Beginnings
to Cybersecurity & Offensive Engineering

Hello! I'm Hala Naaz. Coming from a non-technical background, I built my path into cybersecurity through self-learning, hands-on security labs, experimentation, CTFs, practical projects, and research.

Today, through AshlynxCyber, I focus on Red Teaming, AI Security, and Security Research — working across web application security, AI red teaming, vulnerability research, and security labs to analyze attack surfaces, test vulnerabilities, and build practical security tooling.
