A comprehensive guide to deploying Microsoft Sentinel as a cloud-native SIEM/SOAR solution. Covers multi-cloud data connector setup (AWS, Azure, GCP), writing advanced KQL queries for threat detection and hunting, and building automated response playbooks using Logic Apps. Ideal for establishing centralized SOCs in complex, multi-cloud environments.

This guide details the systematic process of creating comprehensive incident response playbooks and runbooks. It covers structured procedures, decision trees, RACI matrices, and escalation protocols for various incident types (e.g., ransomware, data breach). Designed for maturing an Incident Response (IR) program, maintaining compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA), and integrating automated workflows into SOAR platforms, aligning with NIST SP 800-61r3 standards.

A comprehensive, structured playbook for Security Operations Centers (SOCs) detailing the entire lifecycle of ransomware incidents. It guides analysts through detection (SIEM queries), triage decision trees, containment (EDR/Firewall), evidence collection, and recovery phases, adhering to NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks.

A structured guide for conducting blameless post-mortem reviews after any security incident. This process helps identify root causes using techniques like the 5 Whys, calculates critical metrics (MTTD, MTTR), and generates actionable recommendations to continuously improve incident response playbooks and procedures.

A comprehensive guide for deploying and operationalizing Amazon GuardDuty. It provides continuous, intelligent threat detection across core AWS services including S3, EKS, and EC2 runtime monitoring. Use this skill to investigate suspicious activity, detect compromised credentials, or build automated incident response playbooks using EventBridge and Lambda for proactive security.

A Python-powered engine implementing structured OT incident response procedures based on the SANS PICERL lifecycle. It classifies incident severity (safety, process, access, recon) and coordinates cross-functional teams (IT SOC, OT Engineering, Operations) to manage critical threats like ransomware in ICS/SCADA environments. Essential for establishing robust safety protocols and ensuring compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP standards.

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.

This skill automates the entire phishing incident response lifecycle using the Splunk SOAR REST API. It processes reported emails, extracts indicators of compromise (IOCs) like URLs and IPs, creates incident containers, attaches artifacts, and triggers automated playbooks for deep analysis and reporting. It is essential for security operations teams needing robust, programmatic incident handling and compliance alignment.

This guide details how to implement robust Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) playbooks using Palo Alto XSOAR. It covers building automated, multi-stage incident response workflows (e.g., phishing, malware analysis, DDoS containment) by integrating various security tools. Use this when automating manual SOC tasks, structuring incident playbooks, or improving overall security posture and compliance.

This skill maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. It is essential for quantifying detection coverage, building ATT&CK heatmaps, tagging SIEM alerts, and prioritizing security controls based on known threat actor playbooks. Use it for comprehensive gap analysis and risk reporting.

This skill guides the execution of structured purple team exercises, simulating real-world adversary techniques (Red Team) and validating the effectiveness of existing detection rules and controls (Blue Team). It is essential for Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to identify critical detection gaps, optimize analyst response playbooks, and enhance the overall security posture against specific threat actors mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

Provides a structured, comprehensive playbook for managing high-impact ransomware incidents. It guides the response team through initial detection, immediate network containment, detailed damage assessment, recovery decision making (including legal and financial considerations), and secure system restoration. Essential for cybersecurity teams facing active encryption attacks.
