About Dakshesh Sharma
Cybersecurity Specialist | Threat Detection & Incident Response | Threat Hunter | SOC BuilderI’m a cybersecurity professional with 8+ years of experience in Incident Response, Threat Hunting, Detection Engineering, and Threat Intelligence — with a relentless drive to stay ahead in the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. I’m passionate about safeguarding business-critical assets by upholding the CIA triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Current role: Detection and Response Engineering — driving threat detection strategies, leading and participating in incident response (as incident commander and analyst), building use cases, and handling high-impact escalations from the SOC. What makes my journey unique?In a previous role, I was the first member of a greenfield SOC — helping shape it from the ground up into a fully mature, 24x7 operational Security Operations Center. From building basic processes to scaling operations and processes, I’ve lived the journey of \"zero to SOC\", gaining hands-on experience few get to witness.
