About Me
Hello World!
I’m Kalpa Perera, a seasoned cybersecurity analyst with over 5 years of experience in the field. I specialize in cloud security, incident response, and vulnerability assessments. I have a proven track record of success in enhancing the threat resilience of organizations by employing security best practices, data analytics, and proactive defense strategies. I’m passionate about leveraging my skills and expertise to help organizations achieve their security goals.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with leading organizations such as ORRO and Microimage HCM. In my previous roles, I’ve demonstrated my ability to:
- Reduce false positives in security alerts by refining detection algorithms.
- Improve threat response times by implementing automation.
- Develop and document new configurations, modules, software, and integrations to support security processes and systems.
- Conduct in-depth investigations, malware analysis, and forensic analysis during security incidents.
- Maintain up-to-date incident response plans, processes, and playbooks.
- Evaluate products, technologies, and techniques for their applicability to security services.
I’m proficient in a wide range of security tools, including Sentinel, Splunk, Azure DevOps, and KQL. I’m also an expert in cloud computing and automation, with experience in MS Azure DevOps, Python, Bash, PowerShell, Docker, Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud, AWS, and GCP.
In addition to my professional experience, I’m also an active member of the cybersecurity community. I’m a CTF player on HackTheBox and TryHackMe. I’m also a certified eLearn Security Junior Penetration Tester (eJPT) and hold several other industry certifications.
I’m always eager to connect with fellow cybersecurity professionals and learn about new and emerging threats. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or email.
