Avani Patil

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Analyst with 2+ years of professional experience at Barracuda Networks, dedicated to protecting enterprise integrity through proactive risk mitigation. I specialize in threat detection, phishing investigations, and in-depth analysis of suspicious URLs, attachments, and domains.

In my current role, I manage high-volume threat detection by classifying over 1,000 emails daily and identifying PhaaS and malware activity. I also optimize email security gateway filters to block malicious links and reduce false positive rates, while investigating complex phishing attacks and preparing detailed incident response reports for stakeholders.

Before this, I strengthened my execution and security mindset through an IT Department Intern role at Aequs Sez, where I developed a Leave Management System using Node.js and MongoDB and performed manual testing with proxy agents. I bring this same hands-on problem-solving approach to projects like Human Detection with YOLOv3 and Mental Health Detection using SVM, and I’m eager to keep growing in SOC, threat intelligence, XDR, and EDR-focused environments.
