Background

About Likhit Sankad

As a SOC Analyst with a strong foundation in threat detection, log analysis, and incident handling, I'm now focused on transitioning into Threat Analysis and Incident Response roles, where I can dive deeper into adversary behaviors and response strategies. I bring hands-on experience working in fast-paced environments — triaging alerts, investigating security events, and uncovering root causes through detailed analysis. I enjoy the investigative side of cybersecurity: correlating data points, identifying patterns, and transforming raw logs into meaningful intelligence that drives actionable decisions. With a curious mindset and a solid grasp of attacker TTPs, I strive to stay ahead of threats, continuously refine detection logic, and support proactive defense measures. My key interests include threat hunting, malware analysis, and optimizing response workflows to reduce impact and enhance resilience. Outside of work, I regularly engage with platforms like HackTheBox and dive into technical articles and documentation to stay sharp. I'm especially drawn to red teaming and threat hunting — anything that involves thinking like an attacker or identifying threats proactively. Let’s connect — I’m always open to sharing ideas, learning from peers, and contributing to stronger security operations.
