Muhammad A.

I am a Cybersecurity Engineer specializing in Security Operations Center (SOC), penetration testing, incident response, and digital forensics. My expertise lies in building comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that safeguard organizations from advanced threats and vulnerabilities using industry-leading tools. By partnering with me, organizations gain tailored security strategies that encompass threat detection, incident response, and continuous threat hunting. I focus on building resilient security infrastructures that safeguard businesses from current and emerging cyber threats. Let me h In SOC environments, I focus on real-time monitoring and incident detection to mitigate risks effectively. With platforms like Wazuh, Azure Sentinel, IBM QRadar, and the ELK Stack, I deploy and manage SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solutions that centralize log data and provide advanced analytics. This enables early threat detection, minimizes false positives, and improves overall incident response times. By utilizing Shuffle SOAR, I automate routine tasks such as threat intelligence enrichment and incident triage, which allows security teams to respond more efficiently and focus on high-priority threats. My use of Jira for workflow management ensures seamless collaboration during incidents, streamlining communication and resolution processes. As a certified eJPT penetration tester, I identify and exploit vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and networks. My penetration testing techniques combine automated scanning and manual testing to thoroughly assess security postures and uncover hidden risks. I provide actionable recommendations for remediation, helping organizations prioritize security enhancements to prevent breaches before they occur. Incident response is a critical part of my work, and I ensure that organizations can swiftly recover from attacks while minimizing damage. Using tools like Velociraptor and Carbon Black, I conduct digital forensics to investigate incidents, trace malicious activities, and gather evidence. This not only helps in resolving the immediate threat but also strengthens defenses against future incidents. My focus is on containment, eradication, and recovery, ensuring a quick return to normal operations. My experience extends to advanced tools like Suricata for intrusion detection and MISP for threat intelligence sharing. These platforms empower me to proactively hunt for threats and share critical information that enables businesses to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. I combine these with Microsoft Defender 365 for cloud security, ensuring that both cloud-based and on-premise environments are secure from attacks. In addition to my technical skills, I bring a strategic approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that solutions are aligned with business objectives. I continuously update my knowledge of industry trends and best practices to provide my clients with the most current and effective solutions.
