About Pavan Pavan Kethavath Kalyan

Cybersecurity Analyst with over 3 years of experience in Security Operations (SOC), SIEM monitoring, and Cloud Security across AWS and Azure environments. I specialize in threat detection, alert triage, and incident response using tools such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and ELK Stack. My experience includes investigating security incidents, correlating logs, and identifying indicators of compromise (IOCs) to support effective detection and response. On the cloud security side, I have hands-on experience with AWS and Azure services including IAM, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and security monitoring tools to secure environments and enforce least privilege access. I also have hands-on experience in vulnerability management and penetration testing, identifying issues such as SQL injection, XSS, and misconfigurations. In addition, I have experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines using SAST and DAST tools to improve secure software delivery through DevSecOps practices. Core areas: • Security Operations (SOC) • SIEM Monitoring and Alert Triage • Incident Response and Threat Detection • Cloud Security (AWS, Azure) • IAM and Access Control • Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing • DevSecOps and Security Automation “I am open to opportunities in Cybersecurity Analyst, SOC Analyst, and Cloud Security roles where I can contribute to incident response, threat detection, and securing cloud environments.”
