Developed the SecOps automation library which consists of thousands of lines of code across over 100 different commands for interactive and script use. This library contains commands that allow analysts to sandbox files/urls, initiate incident response playbooks, and easily interact with security control APIs. Examples include Anomali ThreatStream, Defender Advanced Threat Hunting, LogRhythm, ZeroFox, Cisco Umbrella, and more.
Wrote much of the SOC runbook library, covering topics such as phishing, malware investigation and remediation, user compromise, and more.
Served as a level 3 escalation point for cases and incidents.
Acted as a mentor for new SOC analysts, training and encouraging them in the development of their incident handling, investigation, and threat hunting skills.
Incorporated the Azure security stack into the SOC workflow and defined processes for working with Defender 365 (Endpoint, O365, Identity, Cloud App Security, etc.)
Developed custom integration of Azure security products into the SIEM by utilizing Defender365 APIs and design of ETL pipeline to retrieve, transform and parse events.
