Professional Experience

SOC Analyst
UNICYBERS VTZ LLP
AUG 2024 – NOV 2025  ·  1 YR 4 MOS
  • Monitored and triaged security events daily via Splunk SIEM across networks, endpoints, and systems — maintaining continuous threat visibility and system integrity.
  • Validated and classified alerts for phishing, malware, and unauthorized access events, producing severity-rated incident reports per SOC procedures.
  • Investigated authentication logs, firewall logs, and endpoint telemetry to detect IOCs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics.
  • Built Splunk correlation rules (Event ID 4625) to detect login anomalies; generated automated alerts and operational KPI dashboards.
  • Conducted cross-system log correlation to surface discrepancies and data integrity gaps; escalated confirmed incidents with root cause analysis.
  • Maintained security documentation and enforced access control policies aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF.
Cybersecurity Intern
AICTE EDUSKILLS (Palo Alto Networks)
JAN 2024 – MAR 2024  ·  3 MOS
  • Gained hands-on experience with Palo Alto Networks security platforms — threat prevention, firewall policies, and secure network design.
  • Performed network defense and traffic analysis exercises; developed understanding of SOC fundamentals and incident response workflows.
  • Completed vulnerability assessment exercises and documented findings with recommended remediation steps.

What I've Built

PROJECT · 01
SIEM-Based Brute Force Detection
TOOL: SPLUNK

Built Splunk correlation rules using Event ID 4625 to detect login anomalies and brute force patterns. Generated automated alerts and structured incident reports for review by senior analysts.

PROJECT · 02
Firewall Log & Network Traffic Analysis
TOOL: WIRESHARK

Analyzed firewall logs and packet captures across TCP, DNS, HTTP, and ICMP protocols to surface suspicious IPs, port scanning activity, and anomalous sessions.

Wireshark Packet Analysis TCP/DNS/HTTP IOC Surfacing
PROJECT · 03
SOC Incident Response Simulation
TOOL: SPLUNK + MITRE ATT&CK

Executed a full incident response lifecycle: SIEM triage → IOC identification → MITRE ATT&CK mapping → escalation → formal incident report. Practiced complete SOC documentation workflows.
