Ayush Mahanta

I am a Cybersecurity Engineer, and my focus is on Blue Team operations. This includes finding out about threats and I have spent a lot of time looking at network traffic to find out if anything suspicious is going on. I also use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map out threats and figure out what is going on.

I have worked on projects in security labs where I have analyzed network traffic and looked at how malware behaves. I have also monitored endpoints to see what is happening to them. I am familiar with how security operations centers work.

I know how to look at logs to find out what is going on. I use tools like Wireshark, Burp Suite, Nmap and Metasploit to help me with my work.
