Ajay Kumar
@ajayck
Entry-level cybersecurity professional specializing in SIEM monitoring, alert triage, and threat detection in 24x7 SOC environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m an entry-level cybersecurity professional with a BCA in Cybersecurity and over 3 years of self-driven learning since 2021. I’ve built my foundation around SIEM-driven workflows and real-time monitoring, with hands-on mastery of CEH v13 curriculum.
In my Cybersecurity Intern role at We Rns IT Solutions, I monitored 24x7 security alerts and performed initial triage using SIEM to classify incident severity. I analyzed firewall, server, and EDR logs to identify anomalies and escalated threats to L2 as per SOP/SLA, while following SOC playbooks and contributing to detailed shift handover reports.
I also teach and create: I run a YouTube channel with 1 lakh+ views and provide private coaching where I’ve mentored 15+ offline students for CEH v13. I designed hands-on labs focused on log analysis and threat detection, achieving a 100% student pass rate.
Beyond SOC operations, I’ve completed red-team work and defensive research. As a Penetration Tester Intern at Shadowfox, I completed 5 red-team projects and delivered workshops on threat detection and malware analysis using Nmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite, and I also built a SOC home lab with Splunk SIEM, Windows 10, Kali Linux, and OS Ticket to mirror enterprise workflows.
