I am a cybersecurity engineer with over 5 years of experience in the security domain, currently working at RSA Security Applications Pvt. Ltd. My expertise lies at the intersection of vulnerability assessment, network defense, and secure software development. I’ve worked on building security features within applications that help organizations defend against modern threat actors.
My current focus includes adversary emulation, threat-informed defense, and purple teaming, with hands-on experience using frameworks like MITRE CALDERA and tools such as osquery, auditd, and Sigma for detection engineering. I am passionate about creating collaborative workflows between red and blue teams to improve detection coverage and response strategies.
I hold a Master's degree in Cybersecurity and continually strive to explore and contribute to the evolving field of open-source offensive and defensive security operations. Through talks and workshops, I aim to make purple teaming accessible, practical, and community-driven.

PurpleOps in Action: APT29 Adversary Emulation with MITRE CALDERA and Open Source Detection
This session dives into how purple teams can emulate APT29, a known nation-state threat actor, using MITRE CALDERA to drive threat-informed defense. Instead of working in silos, this talk demonstrates how red and blue teams can collaborate, forming a purple team, to simulate real-world attacks and improve detection coverage through structured purple teaming.
Attendees will learn how to:
1. Deploy CALDERA in a lab environment.
2. Emulate APT29’s real TTPs using open-source plugins.
3. Use osquery and auditd to detect adversarial behavior.
4. Build repeatable purple team exercises and detection rules.
This session includes a lightweight live demo showcasing the red-blue collaboration in a purple teaming loop with the help of open-source utilities and frameworks: Emulate --> Detect --> Validate --> Tune.
Ideal for threat hunters, SOC teams, detection engineers, and red teamers who want to build synergy between offense and defense.
