Built a simulated Security Operations Center (SOC) to combat alert fatigue. This project uses a Python script to automatically correlate internal network logs against external threat intelligence feeds, turning low-context data into high-fidelity, actionable alerts that allow analysts to focus on genuine threats.

This project bridges the gap between a purely technical vulnerability scan and a business-level risk management decision. I used OpenVAS to find vulnerabilities and then translated the technical output into a formal Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), creating an auditable trail for a GRC team to track remediation and ensure compliance.

Developed a focused Python utility that cuts through the noise of brute-force login attempts. The script parses raw SSH authentication logs, identifies IP addresses with excessive failed logins within a specific timeframe, and generates a visual report, turning thousands of log entries into clear, actionable security insights.

Demonstrating a "shift-left" security mentality, I used Terraform to define and deploy a secure, repeatable, and auditable cloud environment in AWS entirely from code. This project enforces the principle of least privilege and every component is consistent and secure by design, eliminating manual configuration errors.
