Bassil Mbanwei

I’m a detail-oriented professional with a strong foundation in cybersecurity and a recent Diploma in Cyber Security from University of Illinois Chicago. I combine hands-on security practice with analytical thinking, and I’m ready to turn that same rigor toward market data analysis—where accuracy and clarity matter.

Through training through School Labs at Fullstack Academy, I gained practical experience by running hands-on lab exercises that simulated real-world cybersecurity challenges. I executed vulnerability assessments using tools such as Nessus and OpenVAS, while monitoring and analyzing security events in SIEM systems including Splunk and IBM QRadar.

I also practiced penetration testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and I supported incident response through malware analysis, log examination, and threat hunting. Beyond detection and response, I configured firewalls, IDS/IPS, and other network security devices, and I instituted security policies and compliance checks aligned with NIST and CIS frameworks.

My certifications—CompTIA Security+, Google Cybersecurity, and Splunk Knowledge Manager—reinforce my ability to monitor systems, interpret signals, and communicate findings with confidence. Now, I’m eager to leverage that proactive mindset to contribute to market data analysis, ensuring accuracy and insightful reporting.
