SOC Workshop (CYDEO)

Participated in a hands-on Security Operations Center (SOC) workshop through CYDEO, simulating the responsibilities of a cybersecurity analyst during a real SOC shift. Monitored security alerts, investigated potential threats, analyzed logs, and followed incident response procedures in a realistic operational environment.

Key Responsibilities & Accomplishments

Monitored and triaged security alerts generated from various security tools and log sources.
Investigated suspicious activities, potential threats, and indicators of compromise (IOCs).
Performed log analysis and event correlation to determine the legitimacy and severity of security incidents.
Applied SOC workflows for alert prioritization, escalation, and incident handling.
Conducted threat-hunting activities using available security data and investigative techniques.
Analyzed authentication events, network traffic, and endpoint activity for signs of malicious behavior.
Documented findings, evidence, and recommended remediation actions in incident reports.
Collaborated within a simulated SOC environment while following established security procedures and playbooks.
