• Investigated and triaged security alerts involving phishing, suspicious authentication, endpoint activity, and network threats using Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
• Correlated Windows Security Event Logs, endpoint telemetry, authentication activity, and network indicators using KQL and SPL to determine attack patterns, validate suspicious activity, and distinguish true positives from false positives.

• Investigated authentication anomalies using Windows Event IDs 4624 and 4625, identifying repeated failed logins, unusual successful logins, and suspicious access patterns for escalation and containment.
• Investigated suspicious process execution using Windows Event ID 4688 and endpoint telemetry to identify unusual executables, parent-child process relationships, and potentially malicious activity.
• Managed investigations from initial alert triage through evidence collection, validation, documentation, escalation, and closure while maintaining clear case notes and investigation timelines.
