About candidate

About you
I am a cybersecurity professional committed to safeguarding digital assets. Through hands-on experience gained from internships and virtual programs, I have developed a strong foundation in Blue Team operations, including incident management, automation, and security tool integration. My academic background in information technology from the National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, one of India’s premier engineering institutions, provides me with a robust technical understanding. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to real-world challenges and contribute to a more secure digital landscape.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I am looking for a SOC Analyst role. I can relocate if necessary but I am looking for a job that provide me some challenge.
What you are interested in working with us?
I am looking for a job. You have a job for me. I am looking for a guy who prefers knowledge I guess you are the guy. Also The salary is very good so I am applying.
I am not very good with words outside my job, so i will end it here but I can assure you can trust my skills. I hope you will give me a chance to interview once.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
Strictly speaking apart from finding job, the most challenging work I have done was in a scale up environment where we had to set up the SIEM, create automations, analyse massive data and other steps like making people aware about different attacks and other things. But I can say it was fun. It was the the very first time I used Microsoft Defender 365, but I can say proudly, it was a memorable experience.

Dear Hiring team,

I am Abhijeet Kumar, an ex-intern of WRI India.I am writing to express my strong interest in the SOC Analyst position at your Company, as advertised on LinkedIn. My love for cybersecurity and my previous experiences @WRI India and others aligns well with your requirements. I can assure you apart from the technical skills and high adaptability to learn, I also have decent communication skills. If you consider my internships I have a decent experience to get this role.

During my internship at WRI India, I actively contributed to strengthening their security posture across several key areas. I resolved over 1500 security incidents, showcasing my ability to analyze and respond to threats efficiently. Furthermore, I designed and implemented automated response playbooks, reducing manual intervention by 40%. My technical skills were further highlighted in configuring Microsoft Sentinel as their central security hub, integrating it with various tools for improved visibility and response. This resulted in a significant increase in their Microsoft Secure Score, demonstrating my commitment to proactive security measures. I also am very comfortable with tools like SIEM, Vulnerability Scanners, IDS/IPS,etc. In addition to these I am also knowledgeable about industry standards like SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR, HIPAA,etc.

My experience extends beyond technical expertise. I am a strong communicator, evident in my success in optimizing Microsoft Defender for Office, leading to a 30% reduction in phishing attempts and malware threats. I am also passionate about knowledge sharing and believe everyone should be literate financially and technologically.

In closing, I just want to say that I can guarantee I am well equipped and well qualified candidate for this role. Please consider my application and I hope to meet you soon.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Abhijeet Kumar
