From SOC Frontlines to Threat Intelligence AnalystPart 1: My Current RealityWith over 2 years in a Security Operations Center (SOC), I\'ve moved beyond monitoring to active defense. My hands-on experience includes:• Threat Detection & Response: Daily hunts using Wazuh (SIEM) and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (EDR).• Vulnerability Management: Bridging the gap between scan results and actual risk.• Security Governance: Assisting in SOC 2 & ISO 27001 audits, phishing simulations, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).• Incident Response: Executing disciplined containment, eradication, and recovery.This role has given me a fundamental understanding of how attacks happen and how organizations defend in real-time.Part 2: My Active TransitionI am now strategically upskilling to transition into a Threat Intelligence Analyst role. My focus is on connecting the dots before the alert fires.• Building Intel Foundations: Mapping TTPs with the MITRE ATT & CK framework.• Hands-On with Intel Tools: Learning MISP for threat sharing and Maltego for link analysis.• Continuous Learning: Analyzing threat actor campaigns, IOCs, and the geopolitical drivers of cyber threats.I\'m documenting this learning journey publicly—sharing the successes, roadblocks, and \"aha!\" moments.Part 3: My MissionTo demystify Threat Intelligence for fellow SOC analysts and aspiring professionals. I believe clear, practical insights beat theoretical jargon every time.Here, I share: Actionable SOC tips from the trenches. Threat Intel breakdowns as I learn them. The honest roadmap for transitioning from operations to intelligence.Let\'s connect if you\'re in cybersecurity, interested in threat intel, hiring for an intel role, or passionate about building a safer digital world.
