Cybersecurity Project: Built a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Solution on Azure

• Designed and deployed a fully functional SIEM solution using Microsoft Sentinel and Azure Virtual Machines for real-time security monitoring and event management.
• Configured and implemented a data collection pipeline to ingest security events from Windows Server logs, ensuring accurate log tracking from a publicly exposed VM.
• Developed and deployed custom alert rules to detect successful Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) logins, ensuring alerts were triggered for unauthorized access attempts.
• Set up an end-to-end security monitoring environment in a cloud-based environment, simulating a real-world scenario to detect security events such as brute force attacks and unauthorized logins.
• Integrated threat intelligence feeds (or mention upcoming work if you're continuing the project), including API-driven intelligence to augment SIEM functionality.
• Gained hands-on experience with Azure services, including Log Analytics, Sentinel, Data Collection Rules, and Azure Virtual Machines.

Skills: Microsoft Sentinel, Azure, Security Monitoring, Incident Management, RDP Log Analysis, Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence

Cybersecurity Project: Deployed a Linux-Based Honeypot to analyze RDP Port Attacks

• Built and deployed a honeypot server on a Linux-based virtual machine to monitor and analyze malicious activity targeting the default RDP port (3389).
• Simulated an exposed RDP service using Cowrie (honeypot tool), collecting data on unauthorized access attempts and brute-force attacks in a real-world environment.
• Configured network-level logging tools (iptables, tcpdump) and centralized logging (Elastic Stack) for detailed visibility into attacker behavior.
• Collected and analyzed attack metadata including IP addresses, login attempts, geolocation, and frequency of access.
• Gained insights into common TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, Procedures) used by attackers scanning and targeting open RDP ports.
• Strengthened practical skills in threat detection, honeypot deployment, network monitoring, and log analysis in a controlled cloud-based lab setup.

Skills: Honeypot Deployment, Linux Server Security, Port Monitoring, RDP Analysis, Network Forensics, ELK Stack, Threat Intelligence, TCP/IP Logging
