What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a Security Analyst in an SOC where I can own L2/L3 investigations, run threat hunting, and improve SIEM detections using MITRE ATT&CK, strict playbooks, and SLA-compliant reporting—especially across cloud and endpoint security.

I’m a results-driven Security Analyst with 3.5+ years of hands-on experience in 24x7 SOC operations, SIEM monitoring, and incident response at Genpact India. I focus on fast, accurate alert triage and disciplined investigation so the right threats get escalated with strong evidence.

I’m proficient in IBM QRadar, Splunk, and Azure Sentinel, using log correlation and threat validation to improve detection quality. I regularly perform phishing and email threat analysis, malware validation and triage, and IOC enrichment across multi-source telemetry.

In my L2 SOC role, I triage 40–60 alerts daily while driving consistent false-positive reduction (~25%) through structured methodologies and playbook execution. I map incidents to MITRE ATT&CK techniques to improve rule accuracy, and I conduct threat hunting with KQL to identify hidden anomalies.

I also bring cloud and endpoint depth, including monitoring AWS and Azure environments and investigating risky Azure AD/Entra ID sign-ins and MFA bypass attempts. From validating Tenable/Nessus findings to coordinating endpoint isolation with tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, I aim to help teams improve continuous detection and stay SLA-compliant.
