@akoritanehemiah
Cybersecurity instructor at LearnFactory Nigeria who built and maintains an integrated SOC lab with Splunk, Wazuh, Snort, and Suricata.
What I'm looking for
At LearnFactory Nigeria, I designed the TechRise 3.0 cybersecurity curriculum and built its lab environment from scratch. I integrated Splunk Free, Wazuh HIDS, Snort 3.0, and Suricata so alerts feed a single SOC dashboard.
I wrote Splunk SPL detection rules, custom Snort and Suricata signatures, and Wazuh file integrity monitoring rules for the lab. I use the detection stack for rule development, log forensics, and alert triage.
As a Cyber Security Instructor, I teach cybersecurity fundamentals and guide learners through controlled, hands-on labs. I also teach penetration testing and web application security against the OWASP Top 10 using tools including Nmap, Nikto, Metasploit, and Burp Suite.
Earlier, I delivered the TechRise Cohort 2 cybersecurity curriculum and taught computer science and ICT. My experience also includes handling digital records and patient information, and I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Microsoft SC-900 certification.
