In my previous role, I managed multiple security incidents, including malware infections and phishing attacks. I utilized SIEM tools like Splunk to monitor and analyze logs, identified the root cause, and implemented containment measures. I also collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure timely resolution and documented the incident response process for future reference.

I prioritize incidents based on their potential impact on business operations and data sensitivity. Critical systems and high-risk vulnerabilities are addressed first. I use frameworks like NIST to assess severity and allocate resources efficiently. Clear communication with stakeholders ensures alignment and minimizes downtime during large-scale attacks.

I am proficient with tools like Splunk, Wireshark, and CrowdStrike for log analysis and threat detection. I also use forensic tools like FTK and Autopsy for evidence collection. Additionally, I leverage EDR solutions and threat intelligence platforms to enhance detection capabilities and streamline incident response workflows.

I regularly follow cybersecurity blogs, attend webinars, and participate in industry forums like SANS and ISACA. I also subscribe to threat intelligence feeds and engage in red team/blue team exercises. Continuous learning through certifications like CISSP and CEH ensures I stay ahead of emerging threats and adapt to evolving attack techniques.

After resolving an incident, I conduct a thorough root cause analysis to identify vulnerabilities and prevent recurrence. I document findings, including timelines, actions taken, and lessons learned, in a detailed report. This report is shared with stakeholders to improve security policies and enhance the organization’s overall incident response strategy.
