Executed Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing (Web, API, Network) to identify high-risk vulnerabilities and supported mitigation with detailed reports. Performed forensic analysis and incident investigation on endpoint and network logs to identify potential compromise indicators. Enriched IOC data using OSINT sources (VT, AbuseIPDB) and ingested validated indicators into ELK/TheHive workflows. Developed IOC-based and behavior-based detections using Elasticsearch queries. Optimized index lifecycle management (ILM) for performance and cost efficiency. Automated CSV IOC ingestion and alert validation workflows. Monitored and analyzed security alerts from firewalls, endpoints, and servers, triaging and escalating incidents as per SOC playbooks. Conducted threat detection tuning using MITRE ATT&CK mapping to improve behavioral detection coverage across monitored environments.
