I am a results-driven Cyber Security Analyst with over 2.5 years of experience and a robust background in threat hunting, incident response, and security event analysis. During my time at Akshita Consultancy, I successfully reduced incident response times by automating processes and developing comprehensive playbooks, enhancing our ability to address security incidents effectively.My expertise includes working with SIEM tools, intrusion detection systems, and integrating third-party threat feeds to bolster security monitoring. I excel in analyzing security events, coordinating incident responses, and maintaining key metrics for mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR).With certifications such as CompTIA CYSA+ and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest security trends and technologies. I am passionate about leveraging advanced tools and methodologies to strengthen organizational security and mitigate risks.Let’s connect to explore how I can contribute to enhancing your cybersecurity posture!Warm regards,Paras Verma
