Enterprise SIEM Deployed via Virtualized Environment
Engineered a virtualized enterprise SOC environment deploying Splunk and Sysmon to ingest endpoint telemetry, author custom SPL detection rules, and analyze active exploit logs.
About me
Hi, I'm Muganeshwaran K. I am a final-year B.Tech student in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science graduating in 2026, with a deep focus on Cybersecurity and Security Operations (SOC). While my degree gives me a strong foundation in analyzing data and automating workflows, my true passion lies in defending networks and hunting threats.
I don’t just learn security out of a textbook—I build it. From engineering a localized, virtualized Splunk SIEM enterprise log pipeline to routing and segmenting secure Cisco networks, I thrive on building environments from scratch to see exactly how they generate data and where vulnerabilities hide. On the offensive side, I’ve achieved the Pro Hacker rank on HackTheBox, cracking over 100+ machines. I use this offensive mindset directly to build tighter, high-fidelity detection rules on the blue team.
I am looking to kickstart my professional career as a Tier-1 SOC Analyst where I can bring immediate value to monitoring pipelines, analyzing logs, and triaging incidents.
