About Punit Laddha
I’m a cybersecurity analyst and threat hunter with 3+ years in Threat Hunting, Incident Response, EDR, MDE, SIEM, KQL, Detection Engineering, I help organizations reduce noise, uncover hidden threats, and harden endpoints—so security teams can focus on what matters.* Build behavioral detections and KQL queries for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE).* Hunt for ransomware, trojans, and info-stealers using MITRE ATT & CK as the primary framework.* Analyze malware with static/dynamic toolsets (PeStudio, HxD, ProcMon, Wireshark, Process Explorer) to derive IOCs and TTPs.* Excessive alert fatigue → I’ve lowered false positives by ~85% and improved detection accuracy to ~90–95% through suppression rules and tactical detections.* Missed or late detections → I design data-driven rules and hunting playbooks that surface stealthy behaviors across endpoints and logs.I combine hands‑on EDR/AV tuning, threat research, and automation with a practical, customer‑centric mindset. I translate complex adversary behavior into actionable detections, helping teams stay ahead of evolving threats.
