About Dishanth C A

Most security teams pick one: compliance or detection or cloud hardening. I do all three and I connect them. At Blueberries, I inherited a SOC 2 Type I program at 15% completion with a live audit window approaching. In under a month, I pushed it past 95% remediating AWS misconfigurations across CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, and IAM, enforcing GitHub branch protection, and driving policy approvals across engineering and leadership. That\'s not checkbox compliance. That\'s building a security foundation a company can actually stand on. At Cygeniq, I build detection infrastructure. I normalized Suricata alerts into a structured pipeline, mapped IDS telemetry to MITRE ATT & CK inside a QRadar SIEM, and cut analyst investigation time by 40%. The thread connecting both roles: I care about signal over noise whether that\'s a failing Vanta control or a raw EVE JSON alert that nobody\'s looked at yet. What I bring to a team: SOC 2 Type II end-to-end — Vanta, AWS remediation, policy governanceDetection engineering — Suricata, MITRE ATT & CK, QRadar, LLM-assisted triageCloud security — CloudTrail, GuardDuty, VPC Flow Logs, IAM least privilegeThe ability to talk to engineers, executives, and auditors in the same week MS Cybersecurity, Yeshiva University (May 2026) · CompTIA Security+ · CySA+ · BTL-1 If you\'re building a security program and need someone who can operate across the stack let\'s talk.
