IT Support Specialist II at Kaneka North America who triages XDR alerts and investigates identity-based incidents.

United States
Message

At Kaneka North America, I monitor Secureworks Taegis XDR and investigate alerts using firewall telemetry and endpoint data. I assess suspicious activity to distinguish false positives from confirmed security incidents.

When an identity-based incident is confirmed, I follow the incident response playbook to contain affected Entra ID accounts, reset credentials and MFA methods, and verify activity with users. I also investigate phishing in Microsoft Defender and document findings and remediation steps.

I partner with the infrastructure team to organize Cisco Catalyst 9000 switch stacks and clean up configurations. I also respond to network outages and connectivity issues and provide Tier 2 support to users.

In my Splunk SIEM home lab, I configured Windows event-log ingestion, developed and tested detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and built a dashboard for alert monitoring. I documented the detection logic, tuning decisions, and testing in a public GitHub repository.
