What I'm looking for
I am a Certified Cyber Security Specialist with over 8 years of experience in incident response and vulnerability management across both on-premises and cloud environments. My expertise lies in investigating security incidents, developing runbooks, and coordinating remediation efforts to enhance endpoint and email security. I excel at translating complex technical details into understandable terms for non-technical stakeholders, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
Currently, I work as a Cyber Security Specialist at TATA Consultant Services, where I execute vulnerability scans, monitor unsupported servers, and coordinate remediation efforts. My role involves advising senior management based on analysis outcomes and collaborating with IT groups to enhance security controls. I have successfully managed network discovery and application vulnerability scans, contributing to improved incident response protocols and overall security posture.
Previously, I served as a Cyber Security Scanner Analyst at Maveris, where I designed and deployed security incident dashboards and optimized endpoint protection. My experience includes implementing proactive vulnerability scanning and developing comprehensive incident response runbooks. I am passionate about enhancing security measures and ensuring the integrity of information systems, and I continuously strive to stay updated with the latest security trends and technologies.
