Hi, I'm Mohamed Aakif 👋

Security-Focused IT Professional | SOC & Security Operations | Infrastructure & Automation

I am a security-focused IT professional with 4+ years of experience in regulated healthcare environments, combining enterprise infrastructure support with hands-on cybersecurity responsibilities. My work spans security operations, identity and access management, endpoint administration, vulnerability remediation, network access control, cloud security, and automation.

I am naturally curious about how systems work, fail, and can be defended. I enjoy investigating difficult issues, following evidence from symptom to root cause, and building practical tools that reduce manual work and improve operational reliability.

Currently focused on progressing into a dedicated SOC, Cybersecurity Analyst, or Security Engineering role, while continuing to strengthen my infrastructure and automation expertise.


🔐 Cybersecurity Focus

  • Security alert triage, log analysis, IOC investigation, and incident reporting
  • SIEM monitoring and threat detection using Wazuh
  • Vulnerability analysis and remediation using Nessus
  • CrowdStrike CTI alert investigation and endpoint activity correlation
  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping, threat intelligence, and security research
  • Identity and access security across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, IAM, PAM, and NAC
  • Malware analysis using FLARE VM and CAPEv2
  • Web application security research through responsible disclosure programs
  • ADHICS compliance support, control evidence, risk registers, and audit preparation

🖥️ Infrastructure & IT Operations

  • Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID administration
  • Windows 10/11 endpoint deployment, patching, configuration, and troubleshooting
  • ManageEngine Endpoint Central, PAM360, and Genian NAC
  • VLAN segmentation, network access control, and Zscaler connectivity support
  • AWS infrastructure using EC2, IAM, VPC, S3, security groups, and CloudTrail
  • Advanced troubleshooting with Procmon, Wireshark, API Monitor, and system logs
  • Secure support for healthcare systems and regulated clinical environments
  • Python, PowerShell, and Bash automation

🚀 Featured Projects

A simulated enterprise security platform combining SIEM and SOAR capabilities. The project includes custom detection logic, alert enrichment, triage, severity classification, reporting, and automated response workflows.

Focus: Wazuh SIEM SOAR SOC Threat Detection Incident Response

A secure AWS lab environment built to simulate enterprise workloads, with network segmentation, least-privilege access, secure key management, activity monitoring, and repeatable deployment practices.

Focus: AWS IAM VPC EC2 S3 CloudTrail Cloud Security

A PySide6-based Windows desktop application for mapping, removing, and remapping shared network folders. Configuration is separated into environment variables so IT teams can adapt and centrally distribute the application.

Focus: Python PySide6 Windows SMB IT Automation System Administration

A Windows system-information collection utility designed to support asset inventory, auditing, and IT operations.

Focus: Python Windows Asset Inventory Auditing IT Support

A collection of Windows administration scripts for system updates, cleanup, troubleshooting, and repetitive maintenance tasks.

Focus: Windows PowerShell Python Automation Desktop Support

A Python-based Linux maintenance project for automating routine operating-system administration and housekeeping tasks.
