About the Candidate

In my current role as a Threat Analyst at Sophos, I focus on delivering comprehensive threat detection and response using both Sophos and CrowdStrike MDR/EDR platforms. A key part of my responsibilities involves performing in-depth EDR analysis—reviewing endpoint telemetry, behavioral patterns, and security alerts to detect suspicious activity and advanced threats. I conduct threat hunting to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs) and indicators of attack (IOAs) that evade traditional defenses, and I correlate data across endpoints to assess the scope and impact of incidents. I also create and manage exclusion policies, optimize security configurations, and support timely incident response to mitigate risk and protect enterprise environments.
Previously, as an Associate Engineer – Security (SOC) and SIEM at Atos Global IT Solution, I developed expertise in monitoring and investigating security events using tools like ArcSight Logger/MDR and analyzing logs from diverse vendors and products. My experience includes performing advanced threat analysis, utilizing various Threat Intel platforms, and applying the MITRE ATT&CK framework for security analysis and reporting. I also managed vulnerability assessments and conducted phishing campaigns to bolster organizational security awareness.

My experience with Microsoft-related security tools, vulnerability assessments, and integrating third-party devices with security platforms has prepared me to contribute effectively to your team. I am confident in my ability to identify potential security threats, prioritize detections, and provide actionable recommendations to enhance your overall security posture.
