I build and tune SOC, detection, and data protection controls for banking environments.
What I'm looking for
At Wema Bank, I own Forcepoint DLP engineering across over 90% of active endpoints, keeping controls mapped to PCI DSS and audit-ready. I also led the migration from AlienVault to Rapid7 SIEM to improve log ingestion, threat visibility, and SOC efficiency.
I integrated Picus with SentinelOne to automatically deploy validated detection rules, reducing alert noise and false positives by 95%. Across SIEM monitoring use cases, I have cut false positives by 30% and reduced containment time by 40% through proactive hunting and incident investigations.
Previously at Access Bank, I monitored and triaged security alerts across 14 subsidiaries, investigated endpoint and network threats, and supported vulnerability remediation and PCI DSS compliance. I also mentor emerging SOC analysts through hands-on detection, malware analysis, phishing analysis, and incident response training.
