What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level SOC role in a 24/7 operations environment where I can apply network security, monitoring, and incident response skills while learning from experienced analysts and advancing in detection engineering.

I am an entry-level SOC analyst with hands-on experience in network simulation, vulnerability scanning, log analysis, and basic Python scripting developed through TryHackMe labs and a personal home lab. I have built and tested LAN/WAN architectures in Cisco Packet Tracer, conducted regular Nmap scans and system enumeration, and practiced attack/defense simulations to strengthen detection and response skills.

I completed cybersecurity internships and certifications including the Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Career Path from Cisco Networking Academy and an Ethical Hacking training, and I am eager to contribute to 24/7 SOC operations—willing to relocate and work rotational shifts for UAE-based teams.
