ABOUT ME

I'm Sachin Prabakar — a proactive Cybersecurity Analyst and Security Technical Specialist with expertise in designing and implementing robust security architectures that safeguard against evolving threats.

Currently at Fortinet, I specialize in threat detection, incident response, and EDR, working across SIEM platforms, WAF configurations, and enterprise firewall deployments to fortify organizational defenses.

Previously at NxtGen Infinite DataCenter, I progressed from Cybersecurity Analyst to Senior Cybersecurity Analyst, proactively hunting Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and countering Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) — contributing to a 55% reduction in potential security breaches.

I'm committed to staying ahead of the latest cybersecurity trends through continuous learning and active participation in industry forums and communities.
