What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a cybersecurity role where I can apply monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management skills within a collaborative team focused on risk reduction, compliance, and continuous improvement.

I am a cybersecurity analyst with over five years of hands-on experience monitoring security alerts, conducting incident response, and performing vulnerability management. I specialize in using SIEM platforms, Nmap, Metasploit, and Greenbone to detect, analyze, and mitigate threats.

At Babz Auto I reduced incident response time by improving escalation processes and conducted regular vulnerability scans that improved system compliance. I investigate and document incidents thoroughly, producing reports that inform management decisions and accelerate remediation.

I strengthen defenses through system hardening, recommending remediation for misconfigurations and enforcing access controls via Active Directory and Group Policy. I also support user access management, deliver technical security support, and run security awareness efforts that decrease repeat issues.

With an MBA in Management Information Systems and relevant cybersecurity certification, I bring a blend of technical skill and process-focused thinking to help organizations reduce risk, meet compliance requirements, and improve overall security posture.
