What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst role in a collaborative team where I can apply threat detection, IAM, and network security skills, gain hands-on incident response experience, and grow under mentorship in a security-focused organization.

I am an aspiring SOC Analyst with hands-on experience in cybersecurity fundamentals, network security simulation, and identity and access management. I have completed virtual internships and job simulations with NIIT Foundation, Mastercard, Tata Consultancy Services, and earned Cisco and Google cybersecurity certifications.

I designed and implemented a secure network environment in Cisco Packet Tracer, configured routers and switches, and demonstrated network segmentation and endpoint protection. Through virtual internships and Forage job simulations I gained experience in threat detection, phishing analysis, IAM, and security awareness program development.

I am motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to a Security Operations Center where I can apply my monitoring and incident-detection skills, deepen my IAM and cloud security knowledge, and grow under hands-on mentorship in a security-focused team.
