What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Blue Team-focused role where I can own SOC monitoring, DLP protection, and incident response—using SIEM/XDR to reduce false positives, improve alert triage, and support ISO 27001 security compliance.

I’m an Information Security Engineer with nearly 2 years of hands-on experience in Security Operations, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Security Monitoring, Incident Response, and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC). I administer enterprise DLP solutions, monitor security events via XDR and SIEM, and investigate incidents to strengthen an organization’s security posture while aligning to ISO 27001 initiatives.

In my recent roles, I deployed and managed Forcepoint DLP/DSPM across Endpoint, Email, Web, and Network channels—building and optimizing policies using Regex, Dictionaries, EDM, and File Fingerprinting to reduce false positives. I also monitored and tuned Symantec DLP for 300+ enterprise users, supported escalation and remediation, and used Trend Micro Vision One to investigate IOCs and perform endpoint isolation. I’m passionate about Blue Team operations and continuously improving threat detection, alert triage, and data protection through strong security documentation and reporting.
