About Manish Pundeer

Cybersecurity professional with over 5 years of experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) environments, specializing in SIEM platforms, threat detection, incident response, and security automation.With a strong background as a SOC Engineer and Datadog expert, I\'ve worked hands-on with advanced tools such as Splunk, Azure Sentinel, QRadar, XSOAR, and ELK. My expertise lies in developing and managing end-to-end SIEM solutions, fine-tuning use cases, creating correlation rules, and setting up alerting/playbooks that reduce false positives and accelerate incident triage. Core Competencies- Proficient in data onboarding, log aggregation (Syslog-NG, WEF, Logstash), and parsing across multiple SIEM platforms- Deep knowledge of threat intelligence, MITRE ATT & CK framework, NIST/ISO27001 compliance, and security automation using SOAR platforms (PaloAlto XSOAR, Azure LogicApps)- Experience in building dashboards and reports to provide actionable insights and support operational SLAs- Incident response ownership – from identification, containment to mitigation, and recovery.Skilled in APM monitoring and observability using Datadog for both infra and app-layer visibility (NodeJS.NET, SQL)- Alert/monitor setup for latency, error rate, host monitoring, SLO/SLI configuration, and Slack/PagerDuty integrations. What I bring to the table: I approach cybersecurity with a keen analytical mindset and a strong focus on detail. I’ve worked in high-pressure environments across SOC and NOC teams, ensuring threat prevention, timely escalation, and coordinated incident response. From onboarding new data sources into SIEM, building detection logic, to handling L2/L3 escalations – I strive for continuous improvement and automation wherever possible. Highlights- Hands-on experience with security device management (EDR, Firewalls, WAF, IPS/IDS, DDoS)- Built and deployed custom dashboards/playbooks in both Splunk & Sentinel- Admin-level responsibilities across ArcSight, QRadar, AlienVault, ELK, and Datadog- Created synthetic monitors, log ingestion pipelines, service-level objectives (SLOs), and agent configurations across hybrid cloud environments.Let’s connect if you’re looking for someone who combines strong security engineering expertise with operational maturity and a “get-it-done” attitude.
