Hello, I’m Pranesh.
With a passion for Threat Hunting,
Malware Analysis and Threat Intelligence.
To protect and enhance operations.
With a background in security engineering and operations, I now apply my expertise to incident response, threat intelligence, automation, and security research. My goal is to build robust, resilient security frameworks that ensure comprehensive protection against emerging threats while continuously improving processes and strategies.
Elevating security strategy to achieve unmatched resilience!
As a front line Triage Security Engineer at Arctic Wolf, I triage and assess inbound security data, leveraging and updating intelligence as needed while applying playbook-driven solutions. I collaborate with teams to optimize processes, maintain effective communication, and update runbooks for efficient threat response. My role emphasizes quick analysis, continuous learning, and seamless collaboration to strengthen security operations to end Cyber risk.
Cybersecurity Analyst at Dream Unlimited, I independently managed organization-wide alert monitoring, incident triage, and response for 1000+ endpoints and 700+ users across North America and Europe. I developed IOCs and BIOCs for boosting targeted detection through threat intelligence. My work included refining firewall configurations, developing and deploying cloud-native security solutions, resulting in improved response times and strengthened asset security.
Security tutor at Sheridan College, I assisted students with complex topics, improving their understanding and driving engagement. My dedication to clear, concise tutoring led to being awarded as 'Tutor of the Month' for outstanding performance.
