Tanishq Mishra

I’m a Security Engineer with 2+ years of experience in cloud and enterprise security operations, specialized in incident response, detection engineering, IAM security, and cloud security posture management across Azure and multi-cloud environments. I focus on log-driven investigations and threat detection that directly improve response efficiency.

At Wolters Kluwer, I led end-to-end security incident investigations across enterprise and SaaS environments using Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike Falcon, Azure Sentinel, and Orca—ensuring SLA-driven remediation. I developed a Python-based forensic automation script using advanced regex and entropy techniques to detect exfiltrated tokens and keys, avoiding 27K in third-party forensic costs. I also engineered and optimized detection use cases with internal SIEM and threat intelligence teams, reducing alert fatigue by 40% and improving triage efficiency.

I strengthened IAM security by reviewing and hardening IAM policies through correlation of identity risk events with active security incidents, improving protection against AiTM phishing attacks. I conducted cloud security posture assessments using Orca CSPM to identify misconfigurations and reduce the overall cloud attack surface. I continue to enhance investigation workflows through internal knowledge-sharing on security tooling and processes.

Before this, as a Cybersecurity Analyst Intern at HackHunt Inc., I conducted penetration testing engagements and delivered structured security assessment reports that enabled remediation and reduced client attack surface. Earlier, as a Network Engineer at Dalmia Bharat, I designed and implemented secure enterprise network architecture for segmentation, high availability, and compliance. I back my execution with certifications such as Microsoft SC-200 and Microsoft AZ-500, aligned with a practical, automation-led security operations mindset.
