SOC Analyst at Amana bank HQ investigating security alerts and strengthening detection, with hands-on VAPT and malware analysis experience.
What I'm looking for
At Amana bank HQ, I monitor and investigate security alerts across SIEM, EDR, firewalls, and other controls. I triage incidents, enrich indicators of compromise with OpenCTI and OSINT sources, and contribute to improving detection and investigation processes.
I also investigate email-based threats using Cisco Security Management Appliance and prepare incident, threat intelligence, and operational reports. I mentor junior analysts and interns through knowledge-sharing sessions on SOC operations, malware analysis, and incident response.
At Cicra Consultancies, I conducted web application VAPT engagements for clients, using Burp Suite Professional, Acunetix, and Nessus for automated and manual testing. I documented findings, technical evidence, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations.
In personal projects, I built an isolated Flare VM malware analysis lab and a Wazuh SIEM dashboard to detect SSH and RDP brute-force attacks. I hold a First Class BSc (Hons) in Cyber Security and am focused on advancing my expertise in Red Team Operations and Offensive Security.
