Hi, I’m Sujit Mahakhud
Cybersecurity professional specialising in Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Security, and SOC operations. I help organisations build resilient, intelligent security operations through hands-on training, strategic consultancy, and technical knowledge sharing.
Core Expertise
What I Specialise In
Deep technical expertise across the Microsoft security stack — from detection engineering to enterprise-scale SOC design.
Microsoft Sentinel
SIEM architecture, detection rule engineering, playbook automation, workspace optimisation, and cost reduction strategies.
KQL & Analytics
Advanced Kusto Query Language for threat detection, hunting queries, custom dashboards, and performance-optimised analytics rules.
Azure Security
Microsoft Defender suite, Azure AD security, Conditional Access, Identity Protection, and cloud-native security posture management.
SOC Operations
Incident response workflows, alert triage, threat intelligence integration, and operational maturity improvements for security teams.
Security Training
Practical, hands-on training programmes for analysts, engineers, and SOC teams — from fundamentals to advanced Sentinel mastery.
Threat Detection
Custom detection engineering, MITRE ATT&CK alignment, threat modelling, and building high-fidelity, low-noise alert pipelines.
My Journey
From Analyst to Security Consultant
My journey in cybersecurity started with a fascination for how systems could be defended, monitored, and hardened against ever-evolving threats. Over 8+ years, I’ve worked across incident response, threat detection, security architecture, and hands-on SOC operations.
Microsoft Sentinel became my core focus — I saw it transform how organisations detect and respond to threats at scale. I’ve since helped dozens of organisations implement, optimise, and get the most from their Sentinel deployments.
SecByte was born from a simple belief: security knowledge should be accessible, practical, and actionable. Through 31+ technical guides, training programmes, and consultancy engagements, I aim to raise the bar for security operations everywhere.
