CYBERSECURITY / ENGINEERING / RESEARCH

Securing systems.
Understanding how they break.

I’m Brandon Scott Gregory, a Cybersecurity Engineer focused on enterprise identity and endpoint security, security operations, and technical investigation. I graduated from SANS Technology Institute with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Cybersecurity. My research includes Windows reverse engineering, vulnerability analysis, and reproducible lab investigations.

CORE FOCUS

Where operations meets research

Practical security engineering, repeatable investigations, and technical documentation.

01 / SECURITY ENGINEERING

Enterprise controls

Endpoint hardening, application control, browser baselines, identity controls, and cloud security policy.

02 / DETECTION & RESPONSE

Security investigations

Microsoft Sentinel investigation workflows, authentication telemetry, KQL, and incident resolution documentation.

03 / REVERSE ENGINEERING

GregoGuard Lab

Windows PE analysis, x64dbg, Ghidra, file-format analysis, crash triage, and binary patch validation.

FEATURED ENGINEERING

From policy design to investigation

Three representative professional workstreams with documented methods and limitations.

ENGINEERING CASE STUDY 01

Identity & Session Security Engineering

Plan report-only observation, pilot exclusions and readiness validation for stronger identity protection.

Conditional Access · Device-bound sessions · pilot designRead the engineering case study
ENGINEERING CASE STUDY 02

Endpoint Application Control & Browser Hardening

Validate enforceable application controls and benchmark-aligned browser settings while addressing compatibility.

AppLocker · Intune · Group Policy · CISRead the engineering case study
ENGINEERING CASE STUDY 03

Evidence-Based Incident Investigation

Correlate identity and endpoint signals, investigate context, and document supported incident dispositions.

Microsoft Sentinel · Defender · KQLRead the engineering case study
FEATURED RESEARCH

Evidence over claims

Two completed lab case studies with reproducible observations and clearly stated limitations.

GREGO GUARD / CASE STUDY 01

Windows x64 CrackMe

Recovered the activation algorithm and validated a one-byte branch patch (JNE → JMP) on a controlled exercise.
