@itzsanjaykumar
Cybersecurity consultant specializing in SIEM and detection engineering.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity consultant focused on SIEM and detection engineering, with hands-on experience implementing Google SecOps (Chronicle), Microsoft Sentinel, and Elastic SIEM across enterprise environments.
I design MITRE ATT&CK-aligned detection use cases, create automated SOC playbooks, and lead end-to-end detection engineering activities including retro-hunting, simulated attack validation, and continuous tuning.
I have reduced SIEM ingestion costs through advanced log filtering and selective source onboarding, and improved alert fidelity by tuning rules and suppressing low-confidence duplicates to reduce analyst fatigue.
I also have experience in DFIR, cloud security hardening (AWS, Azure), creating client-facing PoCs/SOWs, and collaborating with law enforcement for forensic investigations—always prioritizing measurable improvements in detection and operational efficiency.
