SOC analyst candidate training at RapidAscent, building a Wazuh home lab and documenting detection scenarios.

United States
Message

At RapidAscent, I analyze simulated security events with SIEM tools and packet captures, then document findings, remediation, and incident response workflows. I also harden and troubleshoot Linux, Windows, Active Directory, and firewall labs.

For my Home SOC project, I built a virtual lab and connected a Linux Wazuh agent to the manager. I documented proposed detection and response scenarios, while Windows agent and Sysmon integration remain in progress.

In a separate Ubuntu Server Business Website project, I deployed a website and API backend with Apache and Python/Flask. I configured HTTPS, security headers, permissions, and firewall rules, and documented implementation and troubleshooting.
