Dr. Sunny Wear — Application pen tester, author, and bug bounty enthusiast

Dr. Sunny Wear began her career as a developer, spending countless hours maintaining others’ code—a humbling experience, as she describes it. Realizing she wanted a different path, a friend suggested exploring cybersecurity at just the right time. Together, they tackled the CISSP exam, which Dr. Sunny passed, igniting her passion for application penetration testing.

Now an accomplished author and proud bird mom, Dr. Sunny discusses her Burp Suite Cookbook, a practical guide to identifying, testing, and exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs.

The show begins with Jack Clabby of Carlton Fields, P.A., joined by resident cybersecurity expert Kayley Melton, analyzing the Star Health Insurance (India) data breach, where the company’s CISO has been accused of selling sensitive data for $43,000.
