From alert to documented analysis.

I investigate security alerts and analyse logs, endpoint telemetry, and identity-based events to identify potential threats.

The work develops practical skills in security monitoring, alert triage, incident investigation, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR).

A repeatable path through an alert.

  1. Validate

    Confirm the alert, affected identity or endpoint, and data source.

  2. Correlate

    Build a timeline from sign-in, endpoint, and activity evidence.

  3. Scope

    Assess affected users, hosts, and actions, and record the limits of available evidence.

  4. Document

    Record the analysis, supporting evidence, limitations, and recommended next steps.
