Vulnerability Management Project

• Set up a secure Azure network environment with an OpenVAS Vulnerability Management Scanner VM to simulate real-world vulnerability scanning.
• Developed a purposely vulnerable Windows 10 VM by installing outdated software and disabling security controls, creating a controlled environment for testing.
• Conducted over 10 unauthenticated and credentialed vulnerability scans using OpenVAS, identifying critical vulnerabilities and analyzing the differences between scan types.
• Remediated identified vulnerabilities, including patching outdated software and re-enabling security controls, followed by successful verification through follow-up scans.
• Compiled and addressed a list of over 15 remediable vulnerabilities, ensuring a comprehensive approach to network security and threat mitigation.

Honeynet in Azure Project

• Designed and Deployed a sophisticated Honeynet network to simulate a high-value target environment and attract cyberattackers.
• Configured Azure Virtual Machines and integrated Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) and Log Analytics for centralized data collection, log aggregation, and real-time threat monitoring.
• Analyzed over 100 attack attempts, including brute force, SQL injection, and DDoS attacks, using KQL to identify attack vectors and attacker behaviors.
• Actionable Insights: Identified 15+ distinct attack strategies, including credential stuffing and privilege escalation, and used this data to inform future threat mitigation efforts.
