- Building my home lab to run containerized workloads consisting of security monitoring services and infrastructure automation tools:
- Elastic stack - log harvesting agents, log ingestion/parsing/enrichment pipelines, search analytics engine, and data visualization application stack
- Zeek - a network security protocol analysis solution
- The Hive - a security incident response and case management application
- Hashicorp Packer - a machine image building tool for software packaging
- Ansible - an automation tool for deploying and provisioning resources
- I’m currently learning the following:
- Python for data analysis, information security, and network administration
- Ansible for infrastructure configuration management, information security orchestration, and network administration
- Elastic stack management techniques to develop Kibana visuals, Elastic Security SIEM detections, and Logstash log parsers
- I’m looking to collaborate on projects that will advance my skills as a SIEM/threat detection engineer focused on host-based and network-based intrusion scenarios.
