Hello, I am Deval. I am a Cybersecurity and Data Analytics professional who takes pride in solving problems and delivering real value. I have worked with clients across healthcare, banking, fintech, and retail to secure systems and make sense of complex data. My core expertise lies in cybersecurity. I help businesses set up and secure cloud environments, configure and harden firewalls, deploy SIEM tools like Splunk and AlienVault, and conduct thorough vulnerability assessments using tools such as Nessus, Tenable, and Acunetix. I also support organizations in strengthening their governance and risk posture through GRC implementation, policy development, control assessments, and compliance readiness (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR). Additionally, I facilitate Red Teaming and Table-Top Exercises to help clients evaluate their incident response maturity, lateral movement readiness, IAM hygiene, and organizational resilience. In addition to cybersecurity, I also specialise in data analysis and Power BI reporting. I help clients clean and model their data, design insightful dashboards, and build reports that support day-to-day and strategic decision making. Cybersecurity Services: • SIEM implementation and dashboarding (Splunk, AlienVault, LogRhythm) • Cloud architecture and cloud security (AWS, Azure, GCP) • Firewall setup, configuration, and hardening (Sophos, Palo Alto, SonicWall, Imperva) • Vulnerability assessments and reporting (Nessus, Tenable, Acunetix) • GRC implementation & audit readiness (ISO 27001, SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR) • Red Teaming & Table-Top Exercises (TTX) for SOC, IR, IAM, Cloud, and Network Security • IAM security review (RBAC, least privilege, privileged access, cloud IAM posture) Power BI and Data Services: • Power BI dashboards with custom DAX measures and filters • Data cleaning, transformation, and business-ready modeling • Visual reporting and performance tracking • Excel to Power BI migration and report automation I am committed to delivering high-quality work, clear communication, and solutions that actually work for your business.

Seeing suspicious logins, spam bursts, or unknown activity? I help you identify the source, contain the risk, and secure your accounts—fast. I specialize in log monitoring, threat detection, and email security investigations using SIEM (Security Onion / Elastic). I analyze system & auth logs to uncover unauthorized access, brute force attempts, and abnormal patterns. Recent work includes: - Email Security Exposure Report - MacOS App Beta Software Tester Report - Mini SIEM Dashboard → parsed logs, visualized alerts, identified suspicious IP activity - Simulated attacks (Kali → Ubuntu) and validated detections via Zeek + Elastic You get a solution and clear report, risk level, and actionable fixes—not just raw data. Message me with your issue (alerts, hacked account, suspicious traffic). I’ll assess quickly and propose next steps.
