      SOC Security Analyst

      I worked at Allstate NI as a SOC Security Analyst during my internship. My work involved the creation of a novel framework for Anomalies Detection and IP hosts profiling for RSA Security Analytics' Sessions. The framework automates the enrichment of details about the detected threats via using OSINT. Therefore, SOC specialists can then build accurate decisions on based on clear understanding of the threats' classifications and natures.
