Mithilesh Tiwari

I am an aspiring cybersecurity analyst with hands-on experience in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and AI-powered cyber defense solutions. My journey began with a passion for ethical hacking, which grew into real-world impact through internships at Cisco and Palo Alto (AICTE), where I worked on network security design, SOC exercises, and mapping Indicators of Compromise to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Along the way, I earned recognition at the highest levels: 🥇 Gold Medalist – MP Skills 2024 (Cybersecurity) 🎖️ Medallion of Excellence – IndiaSkills 2024 📑 Cybersecurity Research Paper selected at the Vision for Viksit Bharat 2047 (National Conference) I also served as Innovation Lead at Horizon Flare, an AI-driven Cyber Threat Intelligence project that was shortlisted at MSME IDEA Hackathon 5.0. This experience strengthened my belief that collaboration, automation, and AI will shape the future of cybersecurity. Currently, I am seeking opportunities as a SOC Analyst / Cybersecurity Analyst Intern / Information Security Associate, where I can apply my skills in network defense, threat intelligence, and security operations to help organizations build stronger cyber resilience.
