Qatar
Message

At Al Maliky Information Technology Solutions, I monitored and triaged alerts across critical national infrastructure and government networks in Qatar. I conducted vulnerability assessments and contributed to incident containment and remediation.

Working with the SOC team, I helped develop detection rules in Microsoft Sentinel, reducing mean time to detect by 40 percent. I also documented incidents with forensic reviews, corrective actions, and lessons-learned reports.

At Driccosec Limited, I delivered security assessment and support services across web, Android, and API environments. I built the firm’s internal assessment methodology aligned to OWASP and PTES, and mentored junior analysts and penetration testers.
