About Achuth

As an experienced Cyber Security Analyst specializing in Managed Security Services, I possess proficiency in SIEM (Arcsight, Qradar, Sumologic, Exabeam, Logrhythm), EDR (Crowdstrike, PaloAlto Cortex XDR), DDoS Detection & Mitigation (Arbor APS/AED, Radware, Genie), Vulnerability Management, and Web Application Scanning (Qualys). I find enjoyment in engaging with capture-the-flag events and exploring bug bounty-hunting opportunities. Currently, I am advancing my expertise by pursuing a Master's degree in Cybersecurity Engineering at the University of Maryland. Furthermore, my creative inclinations drive my passion for both design and coding.
