## About

Cybersecurity professional with 2\.5 years of hands\-on experience across automotive product security, penetration testing, and security operations\. At Ettiksoft Technologies, I worked on Bosch ECU programs — conducting Threat and Risk Analysis \(TARA\), authoring security requirements, validating cryptographic controls \(AES\-128/256, RSA, Diffie\-Hellman\), and maintaining compliance artefacts for ISO/SAE 21434 and UN R155/R156 regulatory submissions\. Outside of that role, I led the infrastructure and core pipeline of a team\-built intelligent SOC homelab — deploying Wazuh SIEM, building a custom Python risk engine that scores threats across 10 categories \(0–100\), and developing all automated incident response playbooks\. The system was tested end\-to\-end using live attack simulations, averaging 8\-second detection latency across 50 scenarios\. I hold the Certified Automotive Cyber Security Practitioner \(CACSP\) certification from TÜV SÜD and am currently completing the Offenso Certified Security Professional \(OCSP\) — covering web, network, API, and Android penetration testing, Active Directory attacks, privilege escalation, SOC operations, SIEM platforms, and malware analysis\. On the competition side, I placed Rank 8 at RedTeam XORION CTF and Rank 208 at Apoorv CTF '26 \(IIIT\), and I organised Beloved CTF to help others build hands\-on security skills\. 🔍 Currently open to roles in: → SOC Analyst / Security Operations → Cybersecurity Analyst / Penetration Testing → GRC / Information Security Risk Analyst → Automotive Cybersecurity Engineer 📩 Open to connect — amaldileef25@gmail\.com
