LAKSHAN SAMEERA - (SAMEER)

As a Security Engineer at DIMIYA Tech, I help secure enterprise and client environments by deploying, configuring, and managing SOC technologies and cloud security solutions. I develop detection rules, correlation logic, and automated workflows to improve threat detection and incident response. My work includes integrating diverse log sources, researching emerging threats, and implementing measures to strengthen the organization’s security posture.

Contributing to the development of an AI-driven threat detection engine, I assist in designing and testing security solutions to identify and mitigate cyber threats in real time. This role provides hands-on experience in cybersecurity research, AI integration, and security operations within an innovative startup environment. Working alongside industry professionals, I gained exposure to real-world security challenges, enhancing skills in threat analysis, network defense, and automation.

The Member-FOSS Community of NSBM is a dynamic group that embraces Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). They’ve organized hackathons, honed skills in Git and C programming, and fostered innovative problem-solving with their Techie Sleuths initiative.

As an Intern Cyber Security Engineer at MillenniumIT ESP, I contributed to securing enterprise environments by creating custom analytical rules for scenarios with no logs and deploying Data Collection Rules (DCRs) to enhance data ingestion. I was actively involved in SOC implementations using Azure Sentinel and FortiSIEM for real-time threat detection and analysis. My role included analyzing Windows Event Logs, integrating secure systems, and focusing on secure communication, configuration, and remediation. I leveraged Kusto Query Language (KQL) for advanced threat identification and mitigation.
