About

I’m an M.Sc. Digital Forensics & Information Security postgraduate with hands-on exposure to SOC operations, SIEM monitoring, incident response, DFIR, threat detection and GRC fundamentals. My experience has given me practical exposure to both investigating security events and documenting them in a structured, evidence driven way. During my cybersecurity internship at Talfor, I worked with Wazuh SIEM/EDR, monitored 10 endpoints, triaged weekly security alerts, analyzed Windows event logs and supported DFIR across court-related cases involving five devices. I also worked on evidence validation, incident reporting, File Integrity Monitoring and detection engineering. Alongside operational security, I’ve been building projects around AI-driven detection and governance including an ML-based network intrusion detection system, Windows log anomaly analysis, polymorphic malware detection using YARA and Wazuh and an ISO/IEC 42001:2023 AI governance and risk assessment identifying 12 risks. My current professional focus is SOC, GRC, cybersecurity compliance, security operations and threat detection, particularly opportunities where I can strengthen my practical experience in risk assessment, controls, documentation, monitoring and incident driven security analysis.

Work experience

Cyber Security Intern at TALFOR, Feb 2026 - May 2026 · 4 mos, Bengaluru, •Deployed and commissioned the Wazuh SIEM stack including dashboard, manager, indexer and endpoint agents across environments. • Performed Windows Event Log analysis using an Autoencoder-based ML approach for behavioral anomaly detection. • Mapped identified attack vectors to MITRE ATT&CK framework techniques and IDs for structured threat documentation. • Conducted analytical review of triggered security events and produced detailed incident reports. • Created and updated SOC playbooks and monitoring workflows to improve detection and response efficiency. • Designed and deployed File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) using Wazuh by authoring custom host-level detection rules and tuning alert severity in the manager to monitor file modification, execution, deletion, and addition events. • Developing a polymorphic malware prototype in Python to simulate hash-evasion techniques and analyzing its behavior through Wazuh SIEM using custom YARA rules integrated with MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping (T1027, T1036).

Ethical Hacker Intern at InLighn Tech (InLighnX Global Pvt Ltd), Jun 2025 - Jul 2025 · 2 mos, Performed hands-on system testing and analysis through guided labs on platforms such as TryHackMe. Used tools like Nmap, Nikto, Dirb, WhatWeb, and Burp Suite for information gathering and workflow validation. Executed functional testing including input validation, response analysis, and error identification. Documented findings and prepared SOP-style notes to support issue resolution.
