What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth in cyber security, where I can leverage my skills in incident response and vulnerability assessments while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented Cyber Security Professional with over 3 years of experience in SOC operations, penetration testing, and network security. My proficiency in SIEM tools like Splunk and EDR solutions such as CrowdStrike has allowed me to effectively handle real-time incidents and conduct thorough forensic investigations. I am committed to ensuring policy compliance and enhancing the security posture of the organizations I work with.

In my previous role as a Security Analyst at Innefu Labs Pvt Ltd, I monitored security systems, analyzed logs and alerts for threat detection, and performed vulnerability assessments. My ability to collaborate with IT teams has been instrumental in implementing effective mitigation strategies and improving overall security measures. Additionally, I have experience in conducting VAPT, executing phishing simulations, and performing API security testing, which has further honed my skills in identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities.
