Carlos Garzon
@carlosgarzon
Bilingual cybersecurity analyst specializing in threat detection and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual cybersecurity professional with a solid technical foundation in information security and engineering principles. My expertise lies in threat detection, vulnerability assessment, compliance, and incident response. I am certified in CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and Microsoft Azure, which equips me with the skills necessary to implement secure architectures in both on-premises and cloud-based environments.
In my current role as a Cybersecurity Analyst at Rubrix, I have successfully conducted regular vulnerability assessments using Acunetix, reducing overall risk exposure by 26%. I developed comprehensive antivirus and anti-malware strategies and implemented a log monitoring and analysis system that cut incident response time by 32%. My proactive approach combines technical proficiency with analytical problem-solving, allowing me to adapt to evolving threat landscapes effectively.
Previously, as a Systems Administrator at Rauland Borg, I configured Splunk Enterprise Security and leveraged the Metasploit Framework for penetration testing. My collaborative efforts with stakeholders led to the development of security policies that improved our security posture by 15%. I am committed to strengthening organizational security through proactive defense strategies and continuous improvement.
