Summary
Sooraj S is a Senior Threat Researcher with 14 years of hands-on experience in vulnerability research, malware analysis, IDS/IPS signature development and protocol decoding. Based in Bengaluru, he has driven threat research and exploit reproduction across industry leaders including Sophos, McAfee Enterprise, Juniper, Trend Micro and Versa Networks. His background blends deep reverse engineering and advanced evasion technique work with practical detection engineering for products like Suricata and Trend Micro Deep Security. Sooraj has a history of turning public POCs and zero-day reports into reliable detection logic and protocol decoders, and has collaborated with programs such as Microsoft MAPP. Comfortable across cloud, networking and endpoint stacks, he consistently bridges low-level system analysis with deployable protections. Less obvious: his career shows a pattern of improving both signature-based and behavioral defenses by shipping decoder and sandbox integrations that reduce mean time to detection.
