Hafsa Maher
@hafsamaher
I build SOC detection, threat-hunting, and DFIR workflows using Splunk, Wazuh, and automation.
What I'm looking for
I've supported live digital forensics and incident response investigations at NCCIA, collecting evidence, following chain-of-custody procedures, and translating technical findings into investigator-ready case reports.
I build hands-on security labs and detection workflows with Splunk, Wazuh, Sysmon, MITRE ATT&CK, YARA, and Python/Bash. My projects include LLM-assisted Splunk threat hunting, a cyber threat intelligence platform with 25+ custom YARA rules, and SIEM-to-SOAR automation that produces analyst-ready incident reports.
As a Cybersecurity Society Team Director at Air University, I lead student teams through security labs and CTF-style exercises while coordinating documentation and presentations.
