What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in cybersecurity and incident management while offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am an IT Support Specialist with a strong background in incident response and Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) development. Over the past five years, I have successfully served in the Nigerian Navy, where I spearheaded incident resolution procedures that reduced system downtime by 20%. My role involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement proactive security measures, leading to a 30% decrease in reported security incidents within just six months.

My experience includes conducting comprehensive risk assessments and developing tailored mitigation strategies that enhance system resilience. I have also contributed to employee training sessions, increasing awareness and adherence to information security protocols. My commitment to ensuring compliance with industry standards is evident through my participation in security audits, where I have helped maintain internal protocols and security frameworks.
