About Me
I am currently in my third year of pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering, specializing in Cyber Security at Saveetha Engineering College. My passion for cybersecurity was ignited during my early academic years, and I have since developed a keen interest in network security, threat analysis, and ethical hacking.
With a strong foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving, I am committed to continuous learning in the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity. I actively participate in workshops, seminars, and hands-on labs to enhance my knowledge and skills. My ultimate goal is to contribute effectively as a cybersecurity professional, particularly in a Security Operations Center (SOC) as a Tier 1 Analyst.

Projects
SOC Automation
- Deployed a Windows 10 agent to send security events to Wazuh for real-time alerting and automated responses.
- Integrated Shuffle for orchestrating responsive actions and case management, enhancing the Security Operations Center's efficiency.
- Streamlined the alerting process by enriching Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) through OSINT enrichment, sending details to The Hive for case management.
- Automated analyst notifications and response actions via email to reduce response times.
Active Directory Lab
- Set up a security lab consisting of two servers (Splunk and Active Directory) and two computers (attacker and target machines).
- Connected all devices through a switch to the internet for real-time network analysis.
- Implemented data flow from the Active Directory server and target machine to the Splunk server using Universal Forwarders.
- Leveraged Sysmon for telemetry on the AD server and Atomic Red Team for generating test data on the target machine.
SOAR Endpoint Detection Response
- Implemented a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflow using LimaCharlie for detecting malicious processes.
- Utilized Tines to automate threat response, including Slack and email alerts for user decision on machine isolation.
- Automated endpoint isolation via API integration, enhancing incident response by enabling real-time isolation of compromised machines based on user input.
Malware Analysis Lab
- Built a custom malware analysis lab using Windows 10 with Splunk and Sysmon to monitor and analyze suspicious file behavior within a segmented LAN environment.
- Integrated Kali Linux to create a controlled environment for testing malware samples.
- Focused on identifying behavioral patterns and potential indicators of compromise for threat intelligence purposes.
