Amusat Haki Adeyemi: SecOpsApp Portfolio

Bringing Solutions to Complex SecOps Challenges

Through the development of Candesia CM, I demonstrate expertise in creating sophisticated, integrated solutions that address critical needs in cybersecurity operations, from initial task inception to full resolution.

Cybersecurity Operations Maturity

Process Digitalization: Implemented features for designing scalable and repeatable processes within the platform.
Workflow Automation: Developed automation strategies to streamline operations and reduce manual effort.
Analyst Enablement: Built intuitive interfaces to facilitate easier onboarding and effective operation for security analysts.

Process Automation & SOAR Engineering

SOAR Integration Capabilities: Engineered the platform to work seamlessly within existing Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) environments.
Custom Automation Development: Wrote custom code to automate time-consuming and repetitive SecOps tasks.
Driving Efficiency: Designed features that free up security teams to focus on high-value threat response.

Security Operations Architecture

Robust System Design: Implemented comprehensive architectural patterns for resilient and efficient security operations environments.
Information Security Principles: Applied best practices for information security throughout the application's development.
Continuous Improvement Facilitation: Integrated features that drive process improvement for ongoing operational excellence.

Lead Interface: Streamlined Intake & Action

This video demonstrates the Lead Interface, where specialists upload new findings and manage potential security incidents. The interface supports complex bulk actions, allowing for efficient commenting, assignment to personnel, or direct conversion of multiple leads into tasks or cases.

Key Features of the Lead Interface:

Lead Upload and Documentation: Enables specialists to easily submit and detail their findings.
Versatile Bulk Actions: A single select box allows for simultaneous commenting, assignment, or conversion of multiple leads to cases/tasks.
Workflow Integration: Facilitates seamless progression from initial finding to actionable security processes.
Efficient Data Processing: Handles large volumes of lead data with responsive bulk operations.

Case Tab: Full Incident Lifecycle Management

This video demonstrates the Case Tab, a comprehensive module for managing security incidents. It provides full CRUD capabilities for cases, evidence, tasks, and observables, along with extensive bulk action functionality for streamlined operations, submitting summaries, viewing evidence, and tracking task timelines.

Key Functionalities of the Case Tab:

Case Management: Comprehensive CRUD operations for managing security cases from inception to closure.
Evidence & Task Integration: Seamlessly view associated evidence, track task timelines, and link relevant observables.
Bulk Action Support: Robust bulk action capabilities across cases, evidence, tasks, and observables for efficient handling.
Summary & Reporting: Tools to submit case summaries and maintain a detailed record of incident progression.

Observable Tab: Actionable Threat Intelligence

This video showcases the Observable Tab, a crucial component for collecting, analyzing, and enriching threat intelligence observables. It provides insights into attack vectors and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), supporting efficient management and extensive bulk actions throughout the interface for proactive defense.

Key Functionalities of the Observable Tab:

Threat Data Collection: Gathers observables automatically from diverse threat intelligence sources.
Contextual Enrichment: Enhances raw data with critical context for deeper understanding of threats.
IoC Management: Efficiently manages Indicators of Compromise for proactive defense strategies.
Comprehensive Bulk Actions: Supports various bulk operations across observables for streamlined analysis and response.

Task Tab: Efficient Security Task Management

This video presents the Task Tab, designed to digitalize and automate repetitive security tasks, thereby optimizing workflows and allowing analysts to concentrate on complex investigations. This module includes full CRUD capabilities for tasks and robust bulk action support.

Key Functionalities of the Task Tab:

Full CRUD for Tasks: Enables comprehensive creation, viewing, updating, and deletion of security tasks.
Bulk Action Support: Facilitates efficient management of multiple tasks simultaneously.
Customizable Task Templates: Supports reusable templates for standardized security processes.
Automated Assignment & Tracking: Ensures accountability and timely execution through automated task assignment and progress monitoring.

Task Stages: Comprehensive Incident Progression

This video illustrates the Task Stages module, a complex interactive table categorizing tasks across the incident response lifecycle: Triage, Investigation, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, Postmortem, and Lessons Learned. Each stage features four columns (Open, In Progress, Done, Error), designed with optimized queries for lightning-fast loading and smooth interaction, even with extensive data.

Core Elements of Task Stages:

Categorized Workflow: Organizes tasks into distinct incident response phases.
Multi-Column Status Tracking: Each stage features Open, In Progress, Done, and Error columns for granular status visibility.
High-Performance Data Display: Utilizes complex, optimized queries to ensure fast loading and responsiveness with large datasets.
Dynamic Table Interaction: Provides a robust and interactive interface for managing tasks through their lifecycle.

Summary Tab: Comprehensive Incident Reporting

This video demonstrates the Summary Tab, providing a complete overview of each incident. It aggregates vital information including administrative details, involved analysts, creation dates, completion percentages, and detailed statuses of all associated evidence, tasks, and observations, offering a comprehensive incident report.

Key Reporting Features of the Summary Tab:

Incident Overview: Displays key details like admin, contributing analysts, creation date, and overall completion percentage.
Asset Status Tracking: Shows counts and completion status for evidence, tasks, and observations.
Detailed Asset Listing: Lists individual evidence, tasks, and observables with their respective statuses.
Consolidated Incident Report: Provides a single, comprehensive view of all aspects related to an incident.

Collaborative Team Management

This video highlights features that foster seamless collaboration among security analysts, including dedicated team management tools and secure communication functionalities.

Team Collaboration & Oversight Features:

Role-Based Access Control: Ensures secure and appropriate access for all team members.
Centralized Knowledge Base: Allows sharing of procedures, playbooks, and intelligence seamlessly.
Secure Communication: Provides integrated tools for efficient and confidential team discussions.
Performance Tracking: Monitors individual and team performance for continuous improvement.
