@sarveshkumar
Cybersecurity engineer specializing in threat hunting, threat intelligence, and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cybersecurity Engineer with 3+ years of experience in Threat Hunting, Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, VAPT, and EDR/XDR operations. I focus on reducing incident response time, strengthening enterprise security posture, and optimizing detection engineering through proactive defense strategies aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
In my current role as a Security Operations Engineer at Starlight Data Solutions, I conduct proactive threat hunting that resulted in 25% faster threat identification. I perform information gathering, reconnaissance, and VAPT to identify vulnerabilities, threats, and implement mitigation plans, while monitoring and mitigating L3–L7 DDoS attacks using behavioral and anomaly-based detection techniques.
I strengthen endpoint and server security coverage across enterprise assets through advanced policy configuration and hardening controls. I improve detection accuracy by aligning investigations with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and I perform root cause analysis for security incidents to implement containment and remediation strategies.
Previously, at Gigabit Technologies, I performed VAPT assessments across web applications and network infrastructure with vulnerability remediation and risk prioritization. I deployed endpoint and server security solutions, delivered technical security reports with actionable guidance, and developed/simulated custom malware, viruses, and payloads (PowerShell, Python, and executable formats) to test detection capabilities of XDR/EDR and endpoint/server defenses.
