Mustasam Atiq

I’m a cybersecurity and blockchain enthusiast and a SOC Analyst (Level 1) who focuses on practical detection and response. I combine analytical thinking with hands-on security implementation to find suspicious activity across network and endpoint environments.

I built a full-scale SOC lab with Wazuh, pfSense, and Suricata to enable real-time threat monitoring. I deployed Wazuh SIEM for centralized log analysis, configured host agents for monitoring, segmented traffic with pfSense, and used Suricata IDS/IPS for real-time network detection and prevention—then validated alerting aligned to MITRE ATT&CK.

In my SOC internship, I monitored and analyzed security events using SIEM tools to detect brute-force attempts, phishing indicators, malware activity, and unauthorized access. I supported incident triage, classification, and escalation by performing log analysis across endpoints, servers, and network devices, while documenting incidents and remediation steps according to SOC reporting standards.

I’ve also developed a blockchain-based AML transaction monitoring system that flags suspicious Ethereum transactions and produces investigation-ready PDF reports. I’m currently building on my foundation through cybersecurity certifications and continuous learning, and I’m motivated to strengthen detections by reducing false positives through careful fine-tuning and threat-hunting practice.
