  • Deep expertise in Splunk and Elastic (SIEM, XDR, SOAR, EDR, log management, observability)
  • Proven ability to design and implement SIEM/SOAR solutions, including correlation rules, dashboards, playbooks, and orchestration workflows

  • Experience integrating SIEM/SOAR with endpoint (Elastic EDR, Forcepoint UAM), network visibility (Corelight, RedSeal), cloud vulnerability (Wiz), and storage/forensics (Pure Storage, Snare)
