Utilized Splunk to analyze logs and identify potential security threats in real time. Identify threats and work to create steps to defend against threats so that businesses have a better cybersecurity understanding while utilising various security frameworks like MITRE d3fend and ATT&CK. Malware analysis and forensics where I had to stay up-to-date with the latest threats and techniques. This allowed me to quickly identify the source of the problem and take appropriate action.
