ABOUT SAIKUMAR JONNAKOTI SAAIVJ

As a SOC Manager, I lead security operations with a strong focus on detection engineering, SIEM content strategy, and intelligent security automation, delivering measurable outcomes across two enterprise security programs.I bring hands-on and strategic experience across CrowdStrike SIEM (CQL), Microsoft Sentinel (KQL), IBM QRadar, and Google Chronicle, where I design, govern, and continuously optimize high-fidelity detection content aligned to real-world threat scenarios and MITRE ATT & CK. My work ensures detection logic remains relevant, low-noise, and operationally effective.My expertise lies in building, tuning, and governing SIEM detection rules, leading proactive threat hunting, and driving automation for alert enrichment, triage, and response. I specialize in transforming raw security telemetry into actionable intelligence, enabling early detection of phishing, malware activity, insider threats, privilege misuse, and anomalous network behavior.From an automation perspective, I actively integrate SOAR workflows, XDR signals, and AI-assisted analysis to improve analyst efficiency and reduce mean time to detect and respond. I am currently advancing SOC maturity by exploring Agentic AI, Copilot for Security, and GPT-based prompt engineering to enable contextual investigations and intelligent decision support.My background spans endpoint and XDR platforms, WAF/IPS/IDS log analysis, malware analysis, and cloud security telemetry, providing end-to-end visibility across the attack lifecycle. With a Security Defense certification from IIT Kanpur, I combine strong technical depth with governance, metrics, and leadership to protect the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of business-critical data.As a SOC Manager, my mission is to build scalable, automation-first SOCs, empower analysts with high-quality detections, and continuously evolve security operations to stay ahead of adversaries.Let’s connect if you’re building next-generation SOCs, detection engineering programs, or automation-led security operations, or if you’d like to exchange ideas on SIEM content, SOAR, and AI in cybersecurity.
