Avinash Mathew Varghese
SOC Analyst · Security Consultant
I'm a cybersecurity professional with experience as a SOC Analyst and security consultant, specialising in incident response and threat detection. I hold a Master of Cyber Security from RMIT University (Dean's List).
I'm skilled in triaging and investigating alerts across multiple client environments using Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, and LogRhythm, and experienced in advising on security controls, policies, and compliance to strengthen organisational risk posture.
I'm also co-founder of AMVAT Labs, a hands-on homelab project where my teammate and I build and operate defensive and offensive security infrastructure together. I'm currently pursuing the SC-200 certification.
This site is where I publish my writeups for retired Hack The Box machines, OWASP Juice Shop challenges, and whatever I'm working through next.
