KALYAN KISHOR

I’m an aspiring Cyber Security Analyst with 1.5 year of experience in SOC operations, SIEM monitoring, incident response, and threat analysis. I’m hands-on in monitoring security events, investigating incidents, analysing logs, and supporting vulnerability remediation activities.

In daily SOC work, I monitor security alerts and suspicious activities across systems and networks, triage and investigate alerts, and escalate incidents when needed. I’ve built and maintained IBM QRadar dashboards for real-time threat monitoring, analysis, and reporting, and I’ve supported continuous security monitoring and log analysis.

I work across detection and investigation workflows, including threat hunting, security event analysis, and phishing analysis of emails, malicious links, and suspicious attachments. I also perform HTTP and DNS log analysis to identify suspicious network traffic and malicious communication patterns, helping uncover hidden threats and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).

I complement SIEM operations with endpoint and security tooling, including Trend Micro Apex One for endpoint protection, malware detection, threat analysis, and remediation support, plus Innspark for SIEM monitoring, alert management, and security event analysis. I bring a strong foundation in cybersecurity concepts like IDS/IPS, firewall security policies (Sophos), and endpoint detection & response (EDR), and I’m actively improving my impact through ongoing labs and technical community involvement.
