Akhilavishnu TS is a Group IT Manager and cybersecurity professional based in the UAE. He works with an attacker’s curiosity and a defender’s discipline — focused on log analysis, EDR implementation, vulnerability governance, and ISO 27001 documentation. He currently leads IT and security at Planet One Group, and is on the CEH track for ethical hacking. Some people write his name as Akhilvishnu TS, Akhilavishnu, or Akhilvishnu.
Focus
Where I consistently deliver cybersecurity value for leadership and operations.
- Hacker mindset, professional execution. Model real attacker behavior to find practical weaknesses, then implement controls that prevent recurrence.
- Detection through evidence. Centralize and analyze logs, correlate signals, and run structured triage workflows to reduce uncertainty.
- EDR that becomes operational. Deploy, tune, and operationalize EDR: policies, alert tuning, response actions, and incident playbooks.
- Governance and audit readiness. Build ISO-aligned documentation: policies, SOPs, standards, evidence mapping, and measurable baselines.
Capabilities
What I own from strategy to execution.
Cybersecurity operations
- Log analysis: triage, correlation, anomaly review, evidence capture
- EDR operations: rollout, tuning, health checks, response actions
- Incident response: containment, eradication, recovery runbooks
- Email security: SPF/DKIM/DMARC and reputation hygiene
Ethical hacking mindset (CEH)
- Attack surface thinking: reduce entry points and misconfigurations
- Vulnerability validation: prioritize what is exploitable and impactful
- Network analysis: traffic inspection, recon, exposure mapping
- Security verification: confirm fixes, retest, close the loop
Infrastructure security
- Network defense: NGFW policies, VPN, segmentation, secure Wi-Fi
- Identity: MFA, access controls, lifecycle, offboarding
- Storage & backups: retention, recovery drills, resilience
- Documentation: baselines, standards, SOPs, change control
ISO & executive reporting
- ISO 27001 documentation: policies, SOPs, control mapping, evidence
- Risk notes: exposure → impact → decision
- KPIs: patch SLAs, EDR health, MFA coverage, phishing trends
- Governance: exceptions, approvals, audit readiness
Projects
Selected security work, structured around risk, evidence, and repeatable operations.
- EDR Implementation & Operations — endpoint detection that becomes usable security operations, not just an installed agent.
- Log Analysis & Threat Triage — reduce uncertainty by correlating identity, endpoint, and network logs.
- Vulnerability Management — treat CVEs as a lifecycle: discover, prioritize, remediate, verify.
- ISO 27001 & Audit Readiness — defensible documentation and evidence mapping.
- Network Security Hardening — segmentation, least privilege, and controlled egress.
Blog
Short, practical writeups on how security is done in the real world.
- Nmap Recon Cheat Sheet (CEH-style) — fast recon flows, safe scanning habits, and turning output into decisions.
- Log Analysis Workflow — a practical triage method for endpoint, firewall, and identity logs.
- EDR Implementation Checklist — rollout plan, tuning basics, and how to avoid noisy alerts.
- ISO 27001 Documentation Pack — what docs matter and what auditors actually ask.
- Wireshark: Spotting Suspicious Traffic — filters that reveal scanning, beaconing, and credential abuse.
Tooling
Practical tools and platforms I operate and document.
About & contact
My approach is rational and evidence-based: validate risk through logs, telemetry, and repeatable checks, then implement controls that are measurable, auditable, and sustainable. For cybersecurity operations, EDR rollouts, ISO documentation, and governance:
