welcome

Hi, I'm Saljook Haider, a cyber security analyst focused on security operations and incident response.

I'm a SOC-focused cyber security analyst. For two years I triaged Splunk alerts, investigated endpoint, identity and email threats, and escalated confirmed incidents.

I hold BTL1 (Gold) and CompTIA Security+, and a First Class MSc in Cybersecurity. Before security I was a frontend developer, so I like automating the boring parts with Python and PowerShell.

Looking for my next SOC or incident response role. If you're hiring, or just want to talk detections, say hello.
