Akansha Arora

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Analyst with 4+ years of hands-on SOC experience across India and France, specializing in threat detection, incident response, and SIEM engineering. I help teams move faster by translating deep log analysis into clear actions and measurable outcomes.

In my current role as a Senior Security Analyst for French operations, I monitor and respond to threats using Splunk, Devo, and Microsoft Sentinel. I’ve contributed to a 45% reduction in successful phishing incidents, drove a 62% reduction through KnowBe4 campaigns, and identified and blocked 150+ malicious IPs, domains, and email senders.

I also apply strong compliance and reporting discipline—using ISO 27001:2022 controls and aligning operations with NIS2 requirements for EU environments. I deliver multilingual incident reports and executive briefings (English, French, German), and I author and maintain incident response playbooks and SOPs aligned with frameworks like the Cyber Kill Chain.

Previously, I supported SOC operations in India using QRadar, Splunk, and Devo, achieving 99.2% alert resolution accuracy and reducing dwell time by 40% through proactive threat hunting. I’ve secured endpoints and networks for 2,000+ users with Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike Falcon, Zscaler, Netskope, and O365 ATP, while maintaining zero critical breaches, and I’m continuously building through certifications like Google Cybersecurity and SC-900.
