About

I am a results-driven Cybersecurity Professional, SOC Analyst, and Ethical Hacking Enthusiast with hands-on experience in detecting, analyzing, and mitigating real-world cyber threats. I specialize in Security Operations Center (SOC) operations, including real-time monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management, with a strong focus on proactive defense and continuous threat detection. With practical expertise in Linux security, intrusion detection, and log analysis, I have implemented security solutions that significantly enhanced system protection and visibility. During my cybersecurity projects, I successfully: Reduced unauthorized access attempts by 40%+ using Fail2ban and automated IP blocking Improved threat detection efficiency by ~35% through honeypot-based attack analysis Decreased incident response time by ~25% by implementing real-time log monitoring and alerting mechanisms I have worked extensively with industry-standard tools such as SIEM (Splunk), Fail2ban, Honeypots, Firewalld, TCP Wrappers, and OpenSSH hardening, enabling me to monitor logs, correlate events, identify anomalies, and respond to incidents efficiently. My ability to analyse attack patterns and map them to potential vulnerabilities helps strengthen system defenses and reduce risk exposure.
