Enhance Your Cybersecurity Skills: My Journey with Blue Team Labs

I am excited to share a significant milestone in my cybersecurity journey—I have recently started my journey with Blue Team Labs, and it has already been a transformative experience.

The Blue Team Lab Experience

Working in a newly established Security Operations Centre (SOC) has been both challenging and rewarding. As part of my role, I was assigned to study a comprehensive threat report released in 2022 and suggest actionable outcomes to enhance our SOC's defences. This task required a deep dive into various aspects of cybersecurity, from supply chain attacks to ransomware threats.

During the Blue Team lab (As i initially started my challenges), I tackled several cybersecurity challenges:

  • Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228): Highlighted the need for proactive vulnerability management.
  • MITRE T1218: Stressed the importance of robust detection strategies.
  • Exchange Vulnerabilities: Emphasized timely patching for ProxyShell and ProxyLogon.
  • Zero-Day (CVE-2022-21882): Showed the necessity of strong patch management.
  • SEO-Based Attacks: Recognized threats from Gootloader and SolarMarker.
  • Malicious JS Detection: Importance of monitoring wscript.exe.
  • Conti Ransomware Affiliates: Identified TrickBot, Emotet, and Cobalt Strike.
  • Outdated Software: Jenkins and Oracle WebLogic need regular updates.
  • DDoS Ransomware Threats: Avaddon group's tactics stressed incident response.
