πŸ›‘οΈ SOC Analyst Projects

Practical cybersecurity projects demonstrating hands-on security operations, threat detection, and incident response capabilities.

A collection of real-world security tools and analysis work built to strengthen defensive security skills. Each project addresses actual SOC analyst responsibilities and common security challenges.


🎯 Purpose

This repository showcases practical security engineering skills through:

  • βœ… Custom security tool development
  • βœ… SIEM implementation and log analysis
  • βœ… Vulnerability assessment and remediation
  • βœ… Incident response and documentation
  • βœ… Threat detection automation

Target Role: Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst | Security Engineer


πŸ“ Projects
