About Kiran Mandati

I’m a Security Analyst with 4 years of hands-on experience in SOC and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) environments, with deep knowledge in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike Falcon, Splunk SIEM, and Microsoft Sentinel. In my current role, I triage alerts, hunt threats using IOC-based methods, perform phishing investigations, and execute real-time remediation using Live Response in Defender and RTR in CrowdStrike. I’ve automated alert handling through Sentinel Playbooks, managed malware containment using Falcon Sandbox, and reduced false positives by tuning Splunk correlation rules. I’m also experienced in ServiceNow, Nessus, and vulnerability management workflows. I\'m actively looking for SOC/EDR roles where I can contribute to threat response, automation, and improving enterprise detection posture.
