I had the pleasure of speaking at Sunday’s graduation for 33 exceptional students from the CyBlack SOC Academy. A huge congratulations to all of you for your dedication and hard work! In my talk, I covered the unique challenges you may encounter in cyber security, such as navigating representation and networking barriers. I also shared key insights on the skills employers seek and the importance of continuous learning and mentorship. A heartfelt thank you to Jude Osamor and the team for their incredible hard work, establishing and delivering the program. You are truly an inspiration! We also appreciate LetsDefend for their support. If you’re interested in joining the next SOC Academy, follow CyBlack for updates on the application process. Wishing all our graduates every success!

It was another and final week at SOC academy, courtesy: CyBlack and LetsDefend. I’m delighted to share that we successfully completed a security solution project using Splunk Cloud to analyze OpenSSH logs and strengthen our security posture. The project involved comprehensive log file analysis, setting up user account management, dashboard creation, and alert configuration. Key findings included the detection of brute-force attacks originating from various global IP addresses, including one flagged as malicious. We also identified a successful login attempt, which was further analyzed to ensure no malicious activities occurred. What we achieved - Analyzed the OpenSSH logs to identify failed and successful login attempts, including potential security threats. -Created a dashboard for real-time monitoring and configured alerts for early threat detection to an administrator -Blocked malicious IPs, strengthened SSH configurations, and improved user management practices. We made few recommendations moving forward (full reccommendations in the report attached) - Proactively update IP blocklists. - Implement least privilege principles. - Conduct regular security drills and reviews. This project highlights the importance of proactive security measures and continuous monitoring in safeguarding our digital environment. Kudos to my team mates Sodiq Yusuf, Oluwafemi Oluwarotimi, Faith Ijere, Teslimat Okanlawon, Oluwatayo Osinbola, AMBCS, Jerry, &Kay for their dedication and expertise! 💪🔒 Detailed report attached below. Big thanks to you Dr Iretioluwa Akerele; and Dr Jude Osamor for this wonderful opportunity and for always pushing us to think harder, in an effort to bring out the best in us 🙏 #CYBLACK #Letsdefend #Cybersecurity #SIEM #SplunkCloud
