Sumedha Dawadi
@sumedhadawadi
Cybersecurity analyst driving threat detection, vulnerability remediation, and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity professional specializing in SOC operations, vulnerability management, and incident response, with hands-on experience building SIEM correlation rules, conducting threat hunts, and remediating high-impact vulnerabilities in enterprise and banking environments. I have identified and stopped ransomware, traced phishing campaigns, reduced critical vulnerabilities by large percentages, and coordinated emergency responses under tight SLAs.
My technical toolkit includes Splunk, Google Chronicle, Nessus, Rapid7, CrowdStrike, Azure Sentinel, and scripting with PowerShell, Bash, and Python. I prioritize pragmatic, defensible solutions—mapping attack surfaces, implementing temporary mitigations, and creating detections and playbooks that harden systems and reduce exposure.
