What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a SOC L1 role where I can put my SIEM and investigation work into a live 24x7 environment.

At Centific, I investigate phishing and BEC emails, looking for malicious URLs, suspicious sender behavior, and recurring HTML tricks. I write and tune regex rules, check them against true and false positive and negative results, and examine suspicious URLs and redirect chains in a sandbox.

In my SOC projects, I correlated security logs in Splunk and Wazuh to detect a simulated attack chain and map its stages to MITRE ATT&CK. I also wrote Splunk queries to detect brute-force patterns in SSH logs. I hold CEH and CSA certifications, and my SC-200 certification is in progress.
