Jagadeesh Raj
@jagadeeshraj
Offensive security and SOC threat-intelligence analyst specializing in enterprise vulnerability validation and penetration testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m an offensive security professional with 1.7 years of enterprise security experience at Ernst & Young (EY), combining SOC threat intelligence with hands-on penetration testing. I map real-world attacker TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK and drive investigations using SIEM telemetry and structured threat reports.
In my role, I triage and validate vulnerability scanner outputs (Nessus/Qualys), manually verifying exploitability to eliminate false positives and reduce remediation backlog noise by ~30%. I’ve mapped 50+ monthly security incidents (phishing, brute-force, lateral movement) and conduct threat hunting for privilege escalation, credential abuse, and suspicious lateral movement patterns.
I also strengthen my practice through lab-driven offensive work—building an Active Directory attack lab (Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, DCSync, and lateral movement), an OWASP Top 10-mapped SQL injection scanner in Python, and a PowerShell post-exploitation recon tool. I’m CEH and CRTP certified and focused on turning attack-chain understanding into actionable detection and remediation outcomes.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

Monitored and triaged security events in Splunk and QRadar, escalating confirmed threats and achieving <10 minutes average triage time on P1 alerts. Performed Nessus/Nmap vulnerability assessments and delivered OSINT/dark-web intelligence reports aligned to OWASP Top 10 and NIST guidance.
