About me

Hey, I'm Monty Shyama, and I work at CRED as a Threat Detection Engineer. Prior to joining CRED, I had the opportunity to work at Arista Networks within the Awake Team as NDR Analyst. My interest areas include Detection Engineering, Threat Hunting, Network Forensics & Incident Response. Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently demonstrated a passion for staying ahead of the curve and embracing new challenges. I have a proven track record of proactively identifying and mitigating threats through threat hunting and investigations, leveraging advanced network traffic analysis platforms like Awake. By converting threat intelligence into effective detection models, I have strengthened organizations defense capabilities. Automation and efficiency have always been at the forefront of my work. I have developed code scripts and tools to automate the analysis of forensic artifacts and other Managed Network Detection and Response (MNDR) solutions. Implementing Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) Playbooks, I have streamlined incident response actions for faster resolution and improved incident management. My expertise also extends to vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT). I have conducted comprehensive security testing for clients' web applications, identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring robust security measures. At my previous organization, as a member of the Innovation Committee and the Ransomware Readiness Assessment Center of Excellence, I actively contributed to driving innovation and ensuring organizational readiness against ransomware threats. My commitment to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends empowers me to deliver exceptional results in any project I undertake.
