Ram Kumar Pedagadi — DevOps Manager

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with 4 years of experience at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), specializing in Security Operations (SOC), Threat Detection, and Incident Response across Microsoft’s security ecosystem. I help enterprises strengthen their defense by detecting, investigating, and mitigating cyber threats across cloud and hybrid infrastructures. Proficient in Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM), Microsoft 365 Defender (XDR), Defender for Cloud, Defender for Identity, Defender for Office 365 and Azure Firewall, I manage large-scale security operations covering 49+ countries, 34,500+ users, and 13,500+ endpoints. I investigate 60+ incidents monthly—phishing, malware, account compromise, and cloud-based threats—ensuring rapid, SLA-driven responses with reduced MTTD and MTTR. I specialize in threat analysis, event correlation, log investigation, and threat hunting using Defender and Sentinel analytics. Leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK framework and Threat Intelligence, I enhance detection accuracy, tune rules, and reduce false positives, improving SOC efficiency. Skilled in Vulnerability Management using Tenable Nessus and Defender Vulnerability Management, I ensure continuous patch compliance and system hardening. Collaboration is key to my work—I partner with cloud, identity, and infrastructure teams for coordinated response, remediation, and compliance tracking. I’ve contributed to onboarding non-compliant systems, improving server compliance to 100% in Defender for Cloud, Defender for Endpoint and Defender for Antivirus. Recognized with multiple On-the-Spot Awards and a Service & Commitment Award, I’m committed to building resilient SOC frameworks, driving continuous improvement, and mentoring L1 analysts through knowledge-sharing and KB documentation. 🎯 Core Skills: SOC | SIEM | SOAR | EDR | XDR | Incident Response | Threat Detection | Threat Hunting | Microsoft Sentinel | Microsoft 365 Defender | Defender for Cloud | Defender for Identity | MITRE ATT&CK | IOC Analysis | Event Correlation | Threat Intelligence | Vulnerability Management | Azure AD | Email Security | Cloud Security | Firewall & Network Security | Fortinet | Azure Firewall | Compliance | Risk Mitigation 🎓 Certifications: Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst (SC-200) | Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500) | Security, Compliance & Identity Fundamentals (SC-900) 🚀 Always eager to learn, adapt, and contribute to securing enterprise ecosystems through innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement in SOC operations.
