fresher with hands-on experience in security log analysis, network traffic inspection, and vulnerability assessment. Skilled in SOC-oriented investigation workflows, with a strong foundation in TCP/IP, firewall concepts, and security fundamentals.

Experience

• Vulnerability Assessment Intern
  Supraja Technologies
  2024 – 2024

  Performed end-to-end vulnerability assessments on production web applications; identified and validated OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including XSS, SQL Injection, and Broken Access Control; conducted impact analysis and assigned risk severity based on exploitability and business impact; prepared structured security assessment reports with remediation recommendations; maintained professional documentation aligned with reporting standards and escalation procedures.

• Security Log Monitoring & Incident Investigation Hands-on Practice
  2024 – 2025

  Monitored authentication and system logs using Splunk Enterprise to detect anomalous activities; developed and optimized SPL queries to correlate events and reduce false positives; investigated brute-force indicators, abnormal login behavior, and suspicious IP activity; classified alerts based on severity and determined appropriate response actions; demonstrated understanding of escalation workflows for high-risk security events.
