Security Monitoring and Threat Detection Using SIEM

This project demonstrates my practical experience as a Junior SOC Analyst in monitoring, detecting and analyzing security incidents within a simulated Security Operations Center (SOC) environment. In this lab, I performed real-world security analysis tasks including log monitoring, alert triage, and incident investigation using SIEM-based techniques. The project focused on identifying potential threats such as phishing attempts, malware activity, and suspicious network behavior. I analyzed system and network logs to detect anomalies, investigate alerts, and determine the severity and impact of security incidents. Additionally, I applied incident response procedures including initial investigation, evidence collection, and threat classification. Technical skills applied in this project include: * SIEM Monitoring and Alert Analysis * Log Analysis and Threat Detection * Incident Response (IR) Fundamentals * Networking Concepts (CCNA Level) * Basic Malware Analysis * Windows and Linux Security Analysis This project reflects my hands-on training in cybersecurity operations and my ability to support Level 1 SOC tasks such as continuous monitoring, alert investigation, and escalation support.
