Monitor and triage an average of 30+ security alerts per shift across SIEM, EDR, firewall, and email gateway sources in a 24x7 rotational SOC, escalating confirmed incidents with complete investigation context. Investigate and respond to security incidents including phishing campaigns, malware infections, brute-force and password-spray attempts, suspicious authentication activity, and data exfiltration indicators, following the NIST incident response lifecycle. Map adversary behaviour to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques during investigations, improving the quality of escalation reports and enabling repeatable detection coverage reviews. Tuned and refined SIEM correlation rules and alert thresholds, reducing false positives by approximately 30% and cutting analyst time spent on low-fidelity alerts. Performed endpoint investigations using EDR telemetry process trees, command-line arguments, persistence mechanisms, and network connections and executed containment actions such as host isolation and IOC blocking. Analysed reported phishing emails through header, sender reputation, URL, and attachment inspection; submitted verified IOCs for blocking and contributed to organisation-wide user awareness communications. Supported vulnerability management by reviewing Nessus/Qualys scan output, prioritising findings by CVSS score and asset criticality, and tracking remediation with infrastructure and application teams. Authored and maintained SOC standard operating procedures, playbooks, and shift handover documentation, improving onboarding time for new analysts and consistency of response across shifts. Produced daily, weekly, and monthly security metrics reports covering alert volume, incident categories, MTTD/MTTR trends, and open risk items for security leadership. Collaborated with IT, network, and application teams during major incidents and change windows, and participated in tabletop exercises and post-incident reviews to strengthen response readiness.
