Darnell Shamlin

I am a dedicated cybersecurity analyst with a strong background in threat detection and incident response, honed through my experience in the U.S. Air Force. My role involved operating within a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC), where I monitored and investigated real-time alerts across multi-classification networks. I have successfully conducted log correlation, threat hunting, and detection rule refinement using tools like Splunk and Elastic, allowing me to mitigate threats such as credential stuffing and malware injections.

In addition to my SOC operations experience, I have a proven track record in incident response and endpoint security. I led investigations using forensic tools and EDR logs, authored response playbooks, and interfaced with command-level decision-makers to brief on potential mission impacts. My commitment to cybersecurity extends to vulnerability assessments, where I performed recurring scans and developed remediation plans aligned with operational risk assessments, ensuring the security posture of critical assets.
