Abhishek Shukla
@abhishekshukla4
Cybersecurity analyst specializing in incident response and threat detection.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in SOC operations, incident response, and threat mitigation, skilled at using EDR/XDR platforms and SIEM solutions to detect and remediate threats.
I have worked as an L1 SOC Analyst monitoring alerts from SentinelOne, Carbon Black, Microsoft 365 Defender, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Cortex XDR, and have managed SIEM ingestion, log analysis, and alert triage to reduce false positives.
I automate security workflows using Python — building Slack bots for SIEM alerts, writing scripts for AD alerting and ELK log extraction, and integrating AI/automation to accelerate investigations and playbook execution.
I have performed vulnerability assessments and penetration testing with Nessus, Nmap, Metasploitable and Burp Suite, built an Active Directory home lab to simulate attacks, and continuously expand my skills in Elasticsearch and advanced log analysis.
