I served as a Level 1 Security Analyst, where I was responsible for monitoring and responding to security incidents for enterprise clients. I analyzed alerts generated by SIEM and SOAR platforms, performed network monitoring using Zabbix, conducted daily CVE tracking, and prepared cybersecurity reports. My role was primarily focused on threat detection and response within Blue Team operations. During my time there, I played an active role in identifying and mitigating threats through XDR and phishing analysis. I also contributed to enhancing SOAR automation rules, which led to a noticeable reduction in incident response time.
