An event or file should not be labelled malicious without proper investigation and supporting evidence.
Key Learning Areas
Here’s what I’ve been learning: • Investigating Windows Security Events • Understanding successful and failed login activity • Exploring Event IDs such as 4798 and 5379 • Checking file properties and digital signatures during investigation • Building a habit of documenting evidence before drawing conclusions
Continuous Improvement
As an aspiring SOC Analyst, I’m focused on improving my log analysis, threat detection, and incident investigation skills through hands-on practice. Every investigation is an opportunity to learn something new. 💀
