🧠 Daniel Asare's IT & Cybersecurity Project Portfolio
I'm genuinely interested in cybersecurity and enjoy solving real-world challenges through hands-on work. Whether it's vulnerability management or tracking down threats, these projects have helped me build practical skills and explore different areas of the field. Feel free to take a look. Each one reflects my effort to strengthen security operations and processes.
🛡️ Vulnerability Management Program Implementation – Completed
Simulates a complete vulnerability management program, from policy creation to remediation. Uses Tenable, Azure VMs, PowerShell, and Bash to identify and resolve vulnerabilities across multiple rounds.
🚨 Threat Hunting Scenario (Tor Browser Usage) – Completed
End-to-end threat hunt using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and KQL to detect unauthorized TOR usage. Includes log analysis, process tracing, and documented response actions.
🛠️ STIG Remediation Lab (DISA Hardening & Compliance) – In Progress
This lab will simulate real-world DISA STIG compliance scenarios. Using Tenable scans with DISA/STIG templates on Azure-hosted VMs, the project focuses on identifying failed controls and applying remediations via PowerShell. Remediation efforts will be tracked using an experience log. The lab may also explore manually triggered vulnerabilities based on Tenable plugin IDs, followed by scripted hardening techniques. Ideal for building hands-on compliance and system hardening experience.
🔐 Active Directory Lab – In Progress
Will simulate an on-prem Active Directory and Azure hybrid setup, including group policies, user provisioning, SSO, and RBAC configurations.
