Background

About Raja Baidyo

I am a Security Detection and Integrations Developer at Arctic Wolf with a strong background in threat detection engineering, digital forensics, and incident response. An IIT-BHU Computer Science graduate, I bring a mix of research, engineering, and hands-on security expertise to proactively defend organizations against evolving threats with close to 5 YOE in cybersecurity space specifically.At Rakuten Mobile Inc.(Tokyo), I worked across both Detection Engineering and DFIR/SOC functions.As a Detection Engineering Analyst, I deployed and optimized detection rules aligned with MITRE ATT & CK and Cyber Kill Chain frameworks, developed an ML-based authentication anomaly detection model (published in a whitepaper), expanded visibility across critical systems, and actively supported purple/red team exercises by addressing identified gaps.As a DFIR Analyst, I managed incidents end-to-end, conducted digital forensic investigations across on-premises and cloud environments, automated artifact collection and analysis to accelerate response, authored incident playbooks to streamline operations, and designed an LLM-driven solution to generate tailored threat intelligence reports, with an IP patent process underway.Earlier in my career, I gained foundational experience as an intern at MAQ Software, working on software development, debugging, and analytics.During my time at IIT-BHU, I also co-authored and published a research paper, LiteEx, which highlighted my technical and analytical skills and deepened my interest in applying research-driven approaches to cybersecurity.I am passionate about building scalable detection strategies, leveraging automation and AI for faster incident response, and continuously strengthening defense-in-depth security architectures.
