NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity professional with a Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security and hands-on experience securing enterprise networks, applications, and infrastructure. I focus on translating technical risks into business-aligned solutions and strengthening security posture.
At Integrated Intelligent Imaging West Africa I deploy and maintain web platforms, perform functionality and security testing, and align configurations with NDPR, GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIST standards. I have tested live systems like VARMS and CYNC, identified vulnerabilities, and implemented controls that improved reliability and transaction efficiency.
Previously, as a Cyber Security Analyst at Beep Legal Tech, I developed and enforced data privacy and security policies, collaborated with legal teams to integrate cybersecurity compliance into business workflows, and maintained audit trails to ensure traceability. I also ran GoPhish simulations to assess user awareness and improve email-attack defenses.
I am proficient with Wazuh (SIEM), Wireshark, Linux administration, web application testing with Cypress, and have foundational Python skills. I hold certifications including ISCĀ² Certified in Cybersecurity and CompTIA A+ training, and I continually pursue practical VAPT and endpoint security training.
