Work Experience

SOC Analyst

HCLTech

Jun 2025 - Present

Monitor and triage security alerts daily using ArcSight ESM — analysing event correlation rules, filter logic, and active channels to detect threats across endpoints, identities, email, and cloud workloads. Perform L1 alert triage — classify severity, assign priority, and initiate response workflows; consistently meet 1–2 hour SLA targets for high and critical incidents across the WASL environment. Investigate security events across Windows Event logs, Azure AD sign-in logs, and network telemetry; correlate Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and identify lateral movement, privilege escalation, and persistence patterns. Manage end-to-end incident lifecycle — detection, containment, remediation, recovery, and post-incident reporting with root cause analysis documented in ServiceNow, escalating complex or high-severity cases to senior analysts when necessary. Map adversary TTPs to the MITRE ATT&CK framework; coordinate containment actions including device isolation, account disabling, and conditional access policy enforcement in collaboration with endpoint and identity teams. Support vulnerability assessment processes by identifying exposed assets from scan results and coordinating with IT teams to ensure timely patching and remediation of identified vulnerabilities. Contribute to the development and maintenance of security documentation, investigation runbooks, and incident response procedures. Produce daily and weekly SOC operational reports covering incident status, SLA compliance, alert volume trends, and threat pattern summaries for WASL client stakeholders. Stay current with emerging threats, attacker techniques, and SOC tooling through continuous learning, self-driven research, and Microsoft SC-200 certification training.
