Cymune (An SHI Company)

Aug 2022 - Present

Perform 24/7 security monitoring using Splunk SIEM and SentinelOne EDR/XDR for enterprise endpoints and network infrastructure. Investigate phishing attempts in Microsoft 365 Defender, performing header analysis, URL inspection, and user impact review. Detect and contain malware infections, isolating affected hosts and coordinating remediation with IT teams. Analyze firewall, IDS/IPS, and proxy logs to detect intrusion attempts, data exfiltration, and C2 communication. Identify and escalate lateral movement and persistence mechanisms based on event correlation in SIEM. Monitor PowerShell execution logs (Event ID 4104/4688) for suspicious or obfuscated commands. Identify encoded or hidden PowerShell commands used in phishing/malware payloads. Investigate PowerShell scripts that attempt network reconnaissance or credential dumping. Correlate PowerShell activity with EDR alerts to confirm malicious behavior. Escalate confirmed PowerShell-based attacks to L2/L3 for deeper threat hunting team review. Automate repetitive alert triage tasks using PowerShell scripts, reducing response time. Validate security alerts, distinguishing false positives from legitimate threats. Conduct email header and URL analysis for phishing cases. Review endpoint alerts for abnormal processes, persistence mechanisms, or suspicious PowerShell executions. Participate in daily SOC handover calls and shift-change briefings. Work with IT/Network teams for firewall rule updates, proxy blocks, or account resets. Stay updated on emerging threats, phishing campaigns, and malware trends.
