Uniquely usual, yet usually unique.
Hi! I’m Danial Ali Naqvi, a Delhi based aspiring SOC Analyst with a passion for cybersecurity. My journey into this field was driven by the same fascination of technology and how it works that I’ve had since I was a child.
What excites me about Cybersecurity is the dynamic challenge of staying ahead of threats and responding swiftly to incidents. I’m eager to apply my skills, collaborate with a dedicated team, and keep learning in this ever-evolving field.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
