Security Operations SOC Analyst specializing in SIEM monitoring, incident response, and threat hunting.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Security Operations SOC Analyst with 3.5 years of experience in security event analysis, threat monitoring, and incident response in a 24×7 SOC environment. I support continuous SIEM operations using Microsoft Sentinel and other platforms to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
In my roles, I built SIEM detection use cases with Azure Sentinel and KQL queries, investigated phishing and malware using email header analysis and VirusTotal, and mapped threats to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. I also conduct threat hunting and malware analysis across endpoint and threat-intelligence tools, then validate alerts using log analysis, threat validation, and root cause analysis.
I manage vulnerability assessment and remediation activities using QualysGuard and Nessus, and I keep investigations well-documented through structured incident reports and SOPs. I’ve worked with ServiceNow and Jira to ensure timely incident investigation, escalation, and resolution in line with SLAs, while improving detection efficiency by tuning SIEM use cases and reducing false positives.
