SOC Analyst (Practical Training) at Self-Directed SOC Lab Environment (Present)

• Monitored SIEM alerts and security events using Splunk to detect rapid-fire login attempts, geolocation mismatches, and unusual data access patterns — reducing manual review effort during simulated security monitoring shifts.
• Performed network traffic analysis using Wireshark to identify suspicious HTTP/DNS communications, malware indicators, and anomalous patterns — documenting investigative methodology for incident triage and team hand-off workflows.
• Conducted systematic vulnerability assessments and network enumeration in a VirtualBox-based lab environment, documenting scan results, risk findings, and remediation steps aligned with NIST and ISO 27001 frameworks.
• Executed predefined incident response playbooks for phishing analysis, email header analysis, and threat investigation — classifying and prioritizing incidents based on severity.
• Maintained accurate documentation of security incidents, actions taken, and investigative findings in structured formats mirroring SOC ticketing and reporting workflows.
