Danish Mahmood
@danishmahmood
I investigate enterprise threats, lead NIST-aligned incident response, and improve SIEM detection fidelity.
What I'm looking for
At ProcessIT Global, I perform real-time alert triage, log correlation, and threat investigations across Wazuh, ELK, Splunk ES, Microsoft Sentinel, and IBM QRadar.
I lead L2 incident handling aligned with NIST SP 800-61, guiding containment, eradication, and root-cause analysis for critical events. I also hunt endpoint threats across Windows and Linux/UNIX systems, using Sysmon and EDR telemetry to identify persistence and lateral movement.
Previously at SEQURETEK, I supported L1/L2 security operations through deep packet analysis, network troubleshooting, vulnerability assessments, and technical risk reviews across firewall, IDS/IPS, and NAC environments.
I've fine-tuned SIEM rules and log decoders across ELK, Wazuh, and Splunk to reduce alert noise by over 25%, while translating threat intelligence and operational metrics into actionable risk briefings for leadership.
