projects

Mock Security Operations Center github.com/Jpouncil23/SOC_Lab/tree/main

Developed a mock SOC environment, utilizing Azure Sentinel SIEM with a Windows honeynet victim network. Generated Incident Response playbooks for response actions. Opened the environment to the internet and captured/cultivated metrics on attacks, such as MTTR, the total number of alerts and incidents. After three days, the topology was locked down utilizing NIST 800-53 controls.

Malware Analysis Lab github.com/Jpouncil23/Malware-Analysis-Lab-/tree/main

Developed an isolated safe malware analysis environment and analyzed Zeus Banking Trojan on FlareVM / Remnux. Leveraged MITRE’s ATT&CK to map defense evasion and reconnaissance tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to the Trojan.
