@martinsokonkwo1
I investigate security alerts, analyze logs, and support incident response operations.
What I'm looking for
I've investigated SIEM alerts and authentication logs to identify brute-force attempts, successful compromises, privileged-account activity, and sensitive file exposure. I document findings, extract indicators of compromise, and escalate incidents with clear recommendations.
I've also developed a NIST SP 800-61-aligned incident response playbook covering detection, containment, escalation, and post-incident review. My work combines SOC operations with risk-aware governance, audit readiness, and communication of technical findings to management.
