Summary

Operated in SOC conducting real-time threat monitoring and incident triage; developed and deployed custom SIGMA/YARA detection rules integrated with ELK Stack and Wazuh, reducing manual alert review overhead. Led enterprise Cisco WLC wireless security audit using Nmap/NSE scripts; discovered 4 critical vulnerabilities including SWEET32, missing forward secrecy (no ECDHE/DHE), and deprecated TLS 1.0/1.1 configurations. Conducted wireless penetration testing with Aircrack-ng on Kali Linux; mapped deauthentication attack vectors across campus access points and recommended WPA3 + 802.11w migration as countermeasures.
