About Me
Cybersecurity professional with a passion for ethical hacking, vulnerability research, and security education.
WhoAmI?
I'm Shubham Saral — cybersecurity specialist with 6+ years on the digital frontlines. From reverse-engineering ransomware in the wild to crafting high-fidelity detections in SIEMs like Splunk and MDE, I live and breathe threat response and creates the custom detection rules. My journey in cybersecurity began with a curiosity about how systems work and how they can be secured.
I specialize in turning chaos into clarity — whether it's dissecting a Cobalt Strike beacon, automating triage via XSOAR, or hardening cloud environments across Azure, AWS, and GCP. My expertise includes incident response, malware analysis, threat hunting, and providing comprehensive security solutions to organizations.
When I'm not conducting security assessments, I enjoy contributing to the cybersecurity community through blog posts, technical PDFs, open-source tools, and mentoring aspiring security professionals. I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and helping others advance in their cybersecurity careers.
