@ahmadnaimat
Cybersecurity Engineer at Firmus Sdn Bhd who conducted penetration tests and supported SIEM monitoring and network security.
What I'm looking for
At Firmus Sdn Bhd, I conducted authorized penetration tests and security assessments to identify weaknesses in networked systems and supporting infrastructure.
I also supported SOC operations through SIEM event monitoring, initial alert analysis, and escalation of suspicious activity. I reviewed network traffic, logs, and scan findings to assess potential threats and security controls.
In controlled environments, I simulated attack scenarios to validate exposure and evaluate defensive readiness. I prepared findings that explained business and technical risks and recommended practical remediation.
My MSc in Cyber Security (Ethical Hacking) builds on an integrated offensive and defensive security foundation. My academic and practical projects include security assessments using ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, and PCI DSS 4.0, and threat analysis mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
