What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a SOC-driven security team where I can run incident investigations, perform threat hunting, and turn intelligence into detection improvements, while collaborating closely with SOC/SIEM/SOAR stakeholders and leadership.

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with 2+ years of experience across Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, and Data Loss Prevention in banking and telecom environments. I monitor and triage security alerts in SOC operations, correlate threat intelligence with real-time incidents, and analyze attacker TTPs to produce actionable guidance for both technical and executive stakeholders.

In my roles, I’ve led investigations and containment/remediation coordination, supported proactive threat hunting to reduce false positives, and delivered intelligence advisories and situation awareness reports using OSINT and dark web monitoring. I also help strengthen detection and compliance through SIEM tuning/automation collaboration and DLP policy creation with Forcepoint DLP and Symantec, plus reporting and user awareness sessions.
