Investigated and managed 15–25 security incidents daily across the full incident response lifecycle, performing in-depth log analysis and threat detection using Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel; improved response efficiency by 15% and reduced MTTR. Conducted proactive threat hunting across 2,000+ endpoints using Microsoft Defender and SentinelOne, identifying and containing 2–4 previously undetected threats per month by correlating behavioral IOCs with intelligence from VirusTotal and Hybrid Analysis. Examined data exfiltration incidents using Microsoft Purview DLP; identified policy gaps leading to high false positives and implemented tuning recommendations that reduced alert noise by ~15%. Analyzed Azure AD Sign-in and Audit Logs to detect and respond to brute-force attempts, credential stuffing, and impossible travel scenarios, strengthening identity security monitoring. Reduced phishing triage turnaround time by 20% by developing a structured triage workflow in KnowBe4; analyzed email headers, sender reputation, URLs, and attachments (sandboxing) to classify and contain threats before user impact, handling 8–10 cases weekly.

Performed L1 triage and validation of phishing, malware, DLP, and authentication alerts; applied standardized classification techniques that reduced false-positive escalations to L2 by 10–15%. Conducted end-to-end phishing analysis, including email header inspection, URL analysis, and attachment sandboxing; correlated findings with SentinelOne endpoint telemetry to confirm malicious activity. Monitored and analyzed Azure AD authentication logs to detect suspicious activities such as brute-force attempts, credential misuse, and anomalous geolocation access. Probed Microsoft Purview DLP alerts to identify potential data exfiltration risks; validated incidents and escalated confirmed threats with detailed context. Escalated 10–15 validated incidents per week to L2/L3 teams with comprehensive investigation notes documented in ServiceNow, improving incident response turnaround time by 15%.
