About Candidate
I am a Certified AppSec Practitioner (CAP) with hands-on experience in Security Operations and incident monitoring. During my SOC internship, I worked in a 24×7 environment handling SIEM alerts, performing log analysis, investigating endpoint threats using EDR tools, and supporting incident response activities. I have practical exposure to MITRE ATT&CK mapping, vulnerability assessment, and web application security testing. I am highly motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to real-time security operations while continuously enhancing my technical and analytical skills in cybersecurity.
