About Ujwesh Khobragade

I am a Cloud Security & Cyber Security Analyst with ~5 years of IT experience, including hands-on Cloud security operations, SIEM monitoring and incident response using Microsoft Sentinel, Defender for Cloud (MDFC), and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE).My core strength lies in detecting, investigating, and responding to security threats across cloud and hybrid environments. I work extensively with KQL-based analytics, alert tuning, threat hunting, and incident triage to reduce false positives and improve detection accuracy. I have hands-on experience strengthening Zero Trust architecture, improving Microsoft Secure Score, and enforcing RBAC, MFA, and Azure Policy to align with CIS, NIST, ISO 27001, and cloud security best practices.What differentiates me is my strong DevOps and infrastructure background, which allows me to approach security with a deep understanding of how systems are built, deployed, and broken. Before transitioning fully into cyber security, I worked as a DevOps and AWS Engineer, where I built secure CI/CD pipelines, managed and hardened cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS, containerized workloads, and automated deployments using Jenkins, Docker, Terraform, and Git. This experience enables me to apply a shift-left, automation-first security mindset, effectively bridging the gap between operations and security while improving resilience and reducing riskCurrently, I support enterprise customers in end-to-end incident handling, threat analysis, and cloud security posture management, helping organizations strengthen their security maturity without impacting business continuity.I am actively seeking opportunities as a Cyber Security Analyst / SOC Analyst (Azure-focused) where I can apply my hands-on SIEM, cloud security, and DevSecOps experience to protect modern cloud environments.
