Brian Kitheka

I am a CompTIA Security+ certified cybersecurity professional transitioning into a SOC Analyst role. I have hands-on experience through practical SOC lab environments using Splunk SIEM, Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, and Wireshark to investigate authentication attacks, phishing activity, suspicious PowerShell execution, malware behavior, and network anomalies. I have developed skills in log analysis, alert triage, incident investigation, documentation, and escalation. My background in security operations has strengthened my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to work in fast-paced monitoring environments. I am eager to contribute to a SOC team, continue learning from experienced analysts, and help protect organizations from evolving cyber threats.
