What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Junior SOC Analyst role where I can contribute to threat detection and incident response from day one. I want hands-on work with log analysis, alert triage, and clear incident documentation within a strong team.

I’m a cybersecurity student and hands-on practitioner completing a Pearson BTEC HND in Digital Technologies (Cloud Computing & Cybersecurity). Through a 10-month remote internship at Alrazzaq Labs, I built practical capability across log analysis, Linux server hardening, vulnerability assessment, and SIEM fundamentals.

I strengthen my SOC readiness with hands-on security work, including a local cybersecurity lab featuring OWASP Juice Shop on Docker. I practice SQL injection, XSS, and authentication bypass techniques while documenting attack vectors and remediation recommendations in structured lab reports and GitHub.

Right now, I’m actively developing Wazuh skills and progressing through the TryHackMe SOC Level 1 learning path. I’m seeking a remote Junior SOC Analyst role where I can contribute to threat detection and incident response from day one.
