What I'm looking for

I seek an SOC or network security role where I can leverage Zscaler and EDR expertise, contribute to incident response and compliance, collaborate with IT/security teams, and grow technical skills in a fast-paced security operations environment.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in SOC L1 monitoring, incident triage, and response, primarily working with Zscaler ZIA, ZPA and ZDX to secure web traffic and optimize access performance.

I have experience using CrowdStrike Falcon EDR for endpoint alert review and correlation, and I regularly track and generate daily security reports, maintain incident logs, and document root cause analyses while collaborating with IT, SOC, and audit teams.

I also have exposure to GRC processes—conducting compliance reviews, maintaining evidence and checklists, and assisting in audit preparation—backed by multiple vendor certifications in Zscaler, Netskope and Palo Alto technologies.
