EMEZANA OGHENEOVIE
@emezanaogheneovie
I’m a SOC-focused cybersecurity analyst delivering detection, monitoring, and hardened enterprise security.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity professional with 3+ years of experience across security operations, threat detection, and enterprise infrastructure security. I design, deploy, and maintain a production SOC using Splunk Enterprise for centralized log monitoring and alerting, and I harden identity and endpoint security with Active Directory/Group Policy and BitLocker.
In my live SOC analyst role at LASIXY Technologies, I build security dashboards, SPL searches, and alerting workflows to improve visibility into authentication events, endpoint activity, and potential threats. I integrate telemetry via Sysmon, Windows Event Logs, and Splunk Universal Forwarders, and I support secure virtualization with VMware ESXi for production Windows Server and Linux workloads.
I also conduct vulnerability assessments and authorized penetration testing, prioritizing and remediating risk across enterprise systems. Alongside operations, I teach SOC operations fundamentals and continuously build and publish security projects, including SOC monitoring platforms, Active Directory security labs, and network detection labs with Snort and Suricata.
