Talha Ahmed

I am a dedicated cybersecurity engineer with more than three years of experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) operations. My focus has been on log ingestion where I collaborate with teams to enhance network security and perform log analysis. I am proficient in optimizing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) infrastructure and developing strategies to strengthen defences against emerging threats.

At Commtel, I have maintained and optimized SIEM infrastructure, ensuring high availability and performance for security operations. I have configured log sources, developed data parsers, and managed correlation rules for effective threat detection. My achievements include developing dashboards, reports, and alerts that provide comprehensive visibility into security events, as well as conducting regular health checks and performance monitoring for SOC infrastructure.

My experience as a SOC Analyst involved proactive monitoring, investigation, and mitigation of security incidents. I analyzed malicious traffic and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) to attribute activity to specific threat actors, supporting threat intelligence efforts. I am committed to enhancing incident response capabilities and ensuring compliance with security best practices.
