Monitored security events in real time using IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, and Splunk. Integrated Windows and Linux log sources into IBM QRadar and Sentinel for centralized event collection and correlation. Wrote KQL queries in Microsoft Sentinel to investigate SigninLogs, AuditLogs, and security events — filtered by user, IP address, and risk level for incident analysis. Investigated 10–15 security alerts daily including phishing, malware, brute force, impossible travel. Operated Ascend Dark Web Tool — monitored credential exposure, investigated password/username hits, and coordinated user notification for remediation. Deployed Sentinel NRT detection rules including NRT User Added and NRT Privilege Assignment — enabled near real-time detection of identity-based threats and unauthorized access. Monitored endpoint threats using Microsoft Defender and Cybereason EDR/XDR; reviewed Microsoft Entra ID for unfamiliar sign-ins, impossible travel, and high-risk access events. Operated email security via Proofpoint, KnowBe4, and Defender for Office 365 — analyzed phishing alerts and applied quarantine release or block decisions. Raised ServiceNow incident tickets and maintained SOC documentation using IT Glue. Deployed VMs on Microsoft Azure using Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, and VirtualBox for lab environments.
