As a Cyber Operations Analyst employed within a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), I am deeply committed to safeguarding organisations against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. My role involves continuously monitoring and protecting client environments by leveraging a proactive, analytical approach to incident detection and response.• Each day, I triage and conduct thorough investigations on alerts generated across a diverse portfolio of client organisations. This high-volume environment demands technical proficiency, a keen investigative mindset, and a disciplined prioritisation and threat mitigation approach.• My passion lies in the intricate process of cybersecurity forensics. I derive satisfaction from unravelling complex threat vectors, identifying root causes, and correlating seemingly disparate data points to form coherent narratives of malicious activity. I am particularly drawn to the strategic direction of information and synthesising event and alert data into actionable intelligence.• Proficient in Microsoft Azure Sentinel, a leading cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) solution. My fluency in Kusto Query Language (KQL) enables me to craft precise and efficient queries that uncover meaningful insights from extensive telemetry data, thereby enhancing threat detection and response capabilities. • I am also proficient in using Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools, which I regularly employ to enrich investigations with publicly available data, aiding in threat attribution, contextualisation, and intelligence gathering.• Additionally, I hold an active Enhanced Baseline Standard (EBS) clearance, which demonstrates my trustworthiness and eligibility to work in environments that require a degree of confidentiality and assurance.• I approach my work with a deep sense of purpose and intellectual curiosity, continually striving to contribute to a safer digital ecosystem for all stakeholders.
