Cybersecurity Analyst passionate about securing enterprise environments.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience in risk analysis, threat modeling, and vulnerability management. My proficiency in SIEM tools, NMAP, and Active Directory, combined with a strong foundation in risk assessment, allows me to effectively secure enterprise environments and mitigate cyber threats.
Throughout my career, I have developed and executed risk assessments for third-party suppliers, ensuring compliance with frameworks such as NIST and ISO 27001. My role at EJ Securities Inc. has honed my skills in managing vendor assessments and contributing to GRC programs. I am passionate about continuous improvement and proactive risk management, which I demonstrated in my previous positions at Gainwell Technologies and SiNet Technologies.
With a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity and certifications like CompTIA Security+ and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, I am committed to staying updated with the latest security regulations and best practices. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to enhancing security measures and educating teams on cybersecurity awareness.
