About Me

Sumit Gyawali
Hello,
I'm Sumit Gyawali, an aspiring cybersecurity professional with a solid background in IT support, network operations, and web development. My cybersecurity journey has been driven by continuous learning through TryHackMe labs, Cisco Networking Academy, and hands-on projects, focusing on log analysis, phishing analysis, threat detection, and web application security testing. I bring practical skills in vulnerability assessment, SOC operations, and network defense, with experience using tools such as Wireshark, Burp Suite, Hashcat, Nessus, OpenVAS, and applying OWASP principles.

My goal is to contribute to a professional security team where I can apply my knowledge and continue growing through real-world cybersecurity operations. I am particularly interested in threat detection, incident response, cloud security, and governance security. Currently based in Germany, I am focused on advancing my expertise in cloud security, SOC operations, penetration testing, and governance frameworks, with a foundational understanding of compliance standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR. I am also improving my German language skills to excel in international environments. Open to collaborations, professional opportunities, and knowledge-sharing within the cybersecurity community, I aim to leverage my technical background, problem-solving abilities, and expanding skillset to help build secure, innovative, and resilient IT infrastructures.
