About

With 2 years of hands-on experience as a SOC Analyst, I bring strong practical knowledge in security monitoring, incident investigation, and threat detection. I have worked extensively with SIEM and EDR tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Cybereason, where I handled real-time alerts and performed detailed log analysis. I also have experience in phishing email analysis using Proofpoint, KnowBe4, and Defender for Office 365, which has helped me identify and mitigate email-based threats effectively. One of my strengths is my ability to quickly analyze alerts, differentiate between false positives and true positives, and take appropriate action or escalate when needed. I am also strong in documentation and follow proper incident handling processes using ServiceNow. I am a quick learner, highly adaptable, and eager to grow in the cybersecurity domain. I believe my practical experience, problem-solving approach, and dedication make me a strong fit for this role.
