Background

About Nishanth Dharuman

As a cybersecurity professional passionate about automation and innovation, I specialize in designing and implementing scalable, AI-driven security operations. With deep expertise in Cortex XSOAR, I’ve led automation and orchestration initiatives across cloud, OT, and enterprise environments — enabling faster, smarter, and more resilient SOCs. I bring hands-on experience with technologies like Prisma Cloud, Microsoft Defender, OT Security, Chronicle, XDR, and GCP, integrating them into seamless detection and response workflows. I’ve built modular playbooks, led platform migrations, and developed custom solutions that optimize analyst efficiency, reduce response times, and align with best practices. Certified in PCSAE, and skilled in XSIAM, XDR, and Google Security Operations, I’ve also explored the use of AI and machine learning models to support decision-making in engineering and threat analysis — a space I’m actively growing in. Whether it’s securing OT environments, scaling SOC capabilities, or enabling teams through automation and training, I thrive on solving complex problems and building the future of cybersecurity.
