Hi, I'm Ben πŸ‘‹

SOC Manager | Detection Engineer | Security Automation Advocate

I lead Security Operations with a focus on building resilient detection capabilities, streamlining incident response, and automating repetitive analyst work so teams can focus on what matters β€” finding and stopping threats.


πŸ”’ What I Do

  • Security Operations Leadership β€” Managing SOC teams, shift coverage, SLA governance, and analyst development
  • Detection Engineering β€” Writing and tuning detection rules (Sigma, KQL, SPL) mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Incident Response β€” Owning IR playbooks from phishing to ransomware; P1 incident commander
  • Security Automation β€” Building Python tools for alert triage, IOC enrichment, and automated reporting
  • Compliance & Reporting β€” NIST CSF, ISO 27001; producing board-level executive summaries and CISO dashboards

🧠 My SOC Philosophy

"A SOC that can't measure itself, can't improve itself."

I believe in three pillars for effective security operations:

  1. Detect more, alert less β€” High-fidelity detections beat alert fatigue every time. Tune ruthlessly.
  2. Automate the repeatable β€” Every manual task a machine can do is analyst time freed for real hunting.
  3. Communicate clearly β€” A P1 incident handled perfectly but reported poorly loses stakeholder trust. Clear, timely communication is a core SOC skill.

πŸ“ Repository Structure Philosophy

All my SOC repos follow the same principles:

  • βœ… Version-controlled β€” Every playbook, rule, and script change is tracked in Git
  • βœ… CI/CD validated β€” GitHub Actions check structure, syntax, and links on every push
  • βœ… Framework-mapped β€” Detection rules and playbooks are tagged to MITRE ATT&CK tactics
  • βœ… Tool-agnostic where possible β€” Sigma rules convert to Splunk SPL, Microsoft KQL, Elastic EQL
  • βœ… Peer-reviewed β€” All production changes go through PR review
