Summary
Built and configured a cloud-based SIEM using AWS and Elastic SIEM to simulate real-world attack scenarios; engineered IAM detection rules and ingested cloud telemetry for monitoring. Simulated privilege abuse and SSH-based attacks, leveraging threat intelligence (AlienVault OTX) for IOC enrichment and performing end-to-end SOC investigation and alerting.

Summary
Organizations rely on TLS and PKI to secure communications, but misconfigured certificates, weak keys, or poor protocols can compromise security. This project explored how secure channels are established, verified, and tested, implementing a PKI-based environment with TLS 1.3, mutual authentication, and hardened SSH, validated through traffic analysis and controlled vulnerability testing.

Summary
Many organizations use cloud-managed endpoint security platforms like Sophos Central but lack centralized SIEM visibility due to licensing or deployment constraints. This project addressed that gap by designing a practical SIEM integration that reliably extracts, validates, and analyzes Sophos security events without relying on traditional syslog or on-prem setups. This project evaluated multiple SIEM options and demonstrated integration with Wazuh Cloud to enable centralized monitoring, event analysis, dashboards, and alerting under real-world constraints.

Summary
Large organizations require structured WAN designs to securely connect multiple branches under centralized control. This project explores a real-world enterprise WAN architecture, focusing on efficient branch connectivity, scalable IP addressing, and reliable routing to reduce operational risk. Implemented a hub-and-spoke topology with centralized traffic control, incorporating network segmentation and subnetting to enhance security and reduce broadcast domains, while enabling reliable inter-branch communication and centralized service delivery.
