published deep dives on detecting real attack groups, from Lazarus to Forest Blizzard
How he works
“Start from the attack. Then prove the team can catch it.”
01 · Practical
Real attacks, real tools, real alerts. Teams learn by working an incident, not by reading about one.
02 · Measurable
Every result says how it was measured, so a team knows exactly what it caught and how fast.
03 · Built in India
Cyber defence capability that India builds, owns and keeps improving.
The ground he covers
Nine years, from the wire to the SOC.
He knows how systems are built, how they are attacked, and how a SOC team catches it. Every hop on this route is ground he has worked on.
