About Me

Cybersecurity Analyst with 4+ Years of Impact

Dedicated SOC Analyst at Voya India, protecting enterprise infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.

I am Karthik Bimanpelly, a Cybersecurity Analyst with 4+ years of experience in SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, and security monitoring at Voya India. I specialize in detecting, investigating, and mitigating security incidents using Splunk SIEM, EDR/XDR platforms, and threat intelligence frameworks.

My expertise spans network packet analysis with Wireshark, web application vulnerability testing aligned with OWASP Top 10 using Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP, and automation with Python and Bash. I have experience securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure) and managing incident response lifecycles through ServiceNow.

I am passionate about staying ahead of adversaries, continuously improving detection accuracy, and reducing response times through automation and SIEM optimization.
