Summary

I am a seasoned Security Engineer with a wealth of experience in safeguarding clients' enterprise systems and information. In my most recent role, I served as a key member of a Global Security Operations Center (SOC) in a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) environment. Here, I played a crucial role in overseeing the security of over 2000 partners and clients.

Responsibilities and Achievements:

As a Security Engineer, my responsibilities included promptly responding to security incidents escalated by Junior SOC analysts. I specialized in handling incidents detected from various Security Monitoring tools such as Sentinel One (EDR), Even Tracker & Perch (SIEM), and Office 365 Risk Watch (UBA). My expertise extended to manual investigation and proactive threat hunting for various cyber threats, including Ransomware, Lateral Movements, Emotet, Mimi Katz, and APTs.

I took charge of identifying, containing, and eradicating threats, while also supporting recovery efforts. Coordinating and communicating with end-users to mitigate the after-effects of incidents became a routine part of my role. Additionally, I collaborated with Level 3 team members on Tier 2/3 incident escalations from detection operations, providing real-time, continuous (24x7) security event monitoring, response, and reporting.

In my capacity as a subject matter expert, I offered guidance to colleagues on prevention measures and played a pivotal role in analyzing and improving incident handling procedures. I maintained proactive coordination with partners' departments to facilitate successful recovery from security breaches.

My role also involved conducting research on the latest methods, tools, and trends in digital forensics analysis. I meticulously created thorough reports and documentation of all incidents and procedures, presenting findings to the team and leadership on a routine basis.

Previous Roles:

Before my role as a Security Engineer, I gained valuable experience as a Security Operations Centre Analyst Level 1 at ConnectWise in Pune, Maharashtra, India. In this position, I monitored alerts triggered in the Endpoint Detection Response, remotely managed client network security devices, and investigated cases of attacks based on signatures and IOCs.

I also worked as a Network Specialist in the telecommunications sector at Accenture, Airoli, Mumbai. Here, I played a key role in a telecommunication project for NBN Australia, managing teams, designing and implementing networks, and ensuring the successful delivery of complex projects.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated strong leadership, communication skills, and a commitment to fostering learning and development within teams. My ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and my track record of managing and delivering complex projects showcase my dedication to excellence in the field of cybersecurity and telecommunications.
