  SOC Analyst

  In my 3 years of experience at TCS, I've gained expertise in various areas of Cyber Security such as Networking, Endpoint Security, Email Security, Malware Analysis, Incident Response, and SIEM. I've also successfully handled Potential and Spear phishing campaigns, which have sharpened my skills in identifying and mitigating cyber threats. One of the highlights of my career was getting selected for an onsite opportunity as a SOC analyst in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This experience not only expanded my knowledge but also gave me hands-on experience in a different work environment. I'm always eager to learn and stay updated with the latest trends and techniques in Cyber Security. Show less

  Accenture

  Oct 2023 - now

  Security Analyst

  As a SOC analyst at Accenture, I'm currently working with a leading U.S. health insurance client to strengthen their security posture. I leverage my expertise in security tools like Cortex XIAM and MDE to monitor and analyse threats, reporting incidents through Cortex XSOAR. Furthermore, I handle incident escalation to the dedicated IR team, while manually logging all occurrences in XSOAR. My proactive approach includes isolating devices, initiating password and RSA token resets when necessary, and verifying user activity related to alerts. To ensure seamless communication, I participate in daily client handovers and update them on ongoing incidents. Additionally, I maintain the health of tracking tools, contribute to weekly reports with executive summaries, and create client-specific runbooks for the employed security tools. This project fuels my passion for cybersecurity, and I'm constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills within this dynamic field. Show less
