A comprehensive guide utilizing Splunk Enterprise Security and SPL to conduct deep forensic analysis of security incidents. This skill covers correlating disparate sources like Windows event logs, firewall records, proxy data, and Sysmon logs to detect TTPs, reconstruct timelines, and identify anomalies, making it essential for incident response and threat hunting.

A comprehensive guide and workflow for threat hunting suspicious PowerShell activity (T1059.001). This technique focuses on detecting advanced adversary techniques such as encoded commands, AMSI bypass, and download cradles using telemetry from EDR platforms (CrowdStrike, MDE), SIEMs (Splunk, Elastic), and Sysmon. Essential for proactive threat detection, incident response, and security assessment.

This skill guides the setup of a robust, centralized logging pipeline using Fluent Bit and Fluentd. It covers collecting logs from diverse sources (syslog, files, applications), routing, filtering, and enriching them before sending them to destinations like Elasticsearch, S3, or Splunk. Ideal for centralizing observability and building secure logging architectures across distributed infrastructure.

This guide focuses on developing multi-event correlation rules using Splunk SPL and Sigma format. It teaches how to detect Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and lateral movement by chaining multiple Windows authentication, process execution, and network connection events across hosts within specified time windows. Use this to surface complex, multi-stage attack sequences that single-event detection rules typically miss.

This skill guides the implementation of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) workflows using platforms like Splunk Phantom. It automates the entire incident lifecycle, including alert triage, IOC enrichment (via VirusTotal, CrowdStrike), containment actions, and ticket creation (ServiceNow). Ideal for SOC teams needing to reduce Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) and standardize complex security procedures across multiple tools.

A structured guide for SOC Tier 1 analysts to triage security alerts within Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). It provides a systematic workflow for classifying severity, investigating notable events, correlating evidence across diverse data sources (proxy, firewall, logs), and making clear disposition decisions (True Positive, False Positive) required for escalation or closure.
