AWS Detection & Response Portfolio

I build and tune AWS threat detections, investigate incidents, and create response workflows that help security teams move faster.

SignalRoot is an independent cloud security portfolio focused on detection engineering, security automation, cloud hardening, and SOC-aligned defensive workflows. The work combines digital banking operational discipline with offensive AWS knowledge translated into practical defensive output.

Built for teams that need stronger cloud visibility and faster response

SignalRoot showcases practical AWS-focused work for teams that need stronger detection coverage, clearer incident workflows, and better security automation.

Startups in AWS

Early teams building fast

For companies running production workloads in AWS without mature threat detection, cloud hardening, or response workflows.

SOC Teams

Cloud detection and triage support

For security operations teams that need better visibility into IAM abuse, suspicious cloud activity, and repeatable response actions.

Security Leaders

Detection maturity and response speed

For leaders who want stronger coverage, faster containment, and better alignment between controls, detections, and playbooks.

Engineering Teams

Security embedded in cloud infrastructure

For teams that need Terraform-based hardening, secure defaults, and cloud controls implemented in a practical, repeatable way.

Core focus areas across AWS detection, response, and security engineering

This work is structured around measurable outcomes: better detection coverage, faster response, stronger cloud controls, and workflows analysts can actually use.

🔍

Detection Engineering

Build and tune AWS detections for IAM privilege escalation, credential misuse, CloudTrail tampering, data exfiltration, and other cloud attack paths. Detections are aligned to attacker behavior and can be deployed through infrastructure as code.

⚙️

Security Automation

Design automated alerting, enrichment, containment, and human-in-the-loop response workflows using AWS-native services and SOC tooling to reduce manual triage and speed up action.

🛡️

Cloud Security Hardening

Implement Terraform-based guardrails and reusable security modules aligned to CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark, helping teams catch misconfigurations before they reach production.

📡

SOC Content Development

Develop Sigma rules, dashboards, playbooks, ATT&CK-aligned investigation content, and supporting operational material to improve analyst consistency and investigative speed.

Technical depth backed by measurable outcomes

The work is grounded in AWS detection engineering, response workflow design, and experience operating in environments where uptime, control quality, and response speed matter.

25+

CloudTrail detection rules

Rules covering credential abuse, privilege escalation, data exposure, and defense evasion, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud.

< 60s

Automated response speed

Serverless detection and containment workflow designed to alert and initiate remediation in under one minute.

90%

Audit finding reduction

Achieved through stronger controls, remediation discipline, and better operational follow-through in a banking environment.

200+

Critical findings closed annually

Closed in partnership with infrastructure and development teams while supporting a high-volume digital platform.

Selected work across detection, automation, and cloud hardening

These projects show how SignalRoot approaches the cloud security lifecycle: detect, investigate, harden, and automate response.

Built from offensive insight, banking discipline, and practical delivery

SignalRoot is built on a specific combination of attacker understanding, operational rigor, and implementation-focused defensive work.

Offensive knowledge applied to defense

AWS attack simulation work and red team training inform how detections are built, prioritized, and tuned against real cloud abuse paths.

Banking-grade operational discipline

Experience in a high-volume digital banking environment shaped a strong bias for reliability, measurable controls, fast escalation, and secure operations at scale.

Detection, investigation, and automation in one practice

The work does not stop at alerts. It connects telemetry, triage logic, response actions, and repeatable workflows into a more usable defensive system.

Founder background

  • 018+ years supporting security operations in a digital banking environment handling 10M+ daily transactions.
  • 0225+ CloudTrail detections built for IAM abuse, credential misuse, and data access abuse.
  • 03ACRTP-certified with 300+ hours of hands-on AWS attack simulation.
  • 0490% reduction in audit findings and 200+ critical findings closed annually.

SignalRoot is led by Adewale Odeja, a cloud security practitioner focused on AWS detection engineering, cloud hardening, SOC-aligned workflows, and incident response automation.


The background combines years of platform security and operational support in banking with deeper specialization in AWS security, threat detection, and offensive-informed defensive engineering. That combination shapes a practical approach: improve visibility, reduce response time, and build controls teams can sustain.


Current work centers on AWS detections, Terraform-based security controls, response automation, and supporting material that helps security teams investigate and act faster.
