Security Analyst Work

Threat monitoring, vulnerability assessment, incident response support, and security reporting. Focused on practical improvements that reduce risk and increase visibility.

Monitoring & Detection Incident Response Vulnerability Management Reporting
Detection Investigated alerts, validated events, and escalated confirmed incidents.
Response Supported containment & remediation planning with IT leadership.
Prevention Reduced attack surface through patching, hardening, and policy updates.

Work Overview (Video)

A short walkthrough of my security Training videos.

Core Responsibilities

  • Monitored systems and networks for threats, anomalies, and suspicious behavior
  • Performed vulnerability assessments and prioritized remediation actions
  • Supported incident response: triage, evidence capture, containment recommendations
  • Created security documentation and technical reports for stakeholders

Tools & Concepts

  • Network & endpoint investigation (logs, traffic patterns, IOC checks)
  • Vulnerability workflows (risk ranking, patch validation)
  • Security baselines: least privilege, secure configs, segmentation
  • Clear reporting for technical + non-technical audiences

My Security Process

  • Detect: Monitor alerts & telemetry, identify unusual behavior
  • Validate: Confirm whether the event is malicious or false positive
  • Contain: Recommend steps to isolate systems and stop impact
  • Remediate: Patch, harden configurations, rotate credentials if needed
  • Report: Summarize findings, evidence, impact, and next steps
  • Improve: Update detection rules and policies to prevent repeat incidents

Outcomes

  • Improved monitoring visibility and reduced time to confirm suspicious activity
  • Strengthened security posture through remediation planning and hardening
  • Produced clear security reports supporting compliance and leadership decisions
  • Helped standardize security workflows for repeatable response
