Independent Project — Cybersecurity & Systems Administration (Home Lab)
Built and maintained a segmented cybersecurity home lab environment in support of ongoing security event triage and log analysis practices. Used Wazuh SIEM to aggregate and correlate logs, then configured custom alert rules to practice investigating anomalous activity. Conducted hands-on network validation using firewall log review and port scanning to confirm the behavior of filtering and security controls. • configured Wazuh SIEM for log correlation and custom alerts • practiced triaging security events and investigating anomalies • implemented and validated IPsec/GRE/DMVPN tunnel lab scenarios • tested DNS filtering/ad-block behavior using pfSense logs and scanning
