Christopher Taylor

As a Security Analyst with over eight years of experience, I have honed my skills in intrusion detection, forensic analysis, and threat mitigation. My journey began with a B.S. in Computer Security & Investigation from the Indiana Institute of Technology, where I developed a strong foundation in IT security principles. I have since worked at Rackspace, where I conduct thorough intrusion analyses and security event correlations, ensuring the safety and integrity of our systems.

In my role, I not only respond to incidents but also serve as a mentor to junior analysts, guiding them through complex incident resolutions. My commitment to enhancing our security posture is evident in my proactive approach to threat hunting and my ability to create automated Splunk SOAR playbooks using Python scripting. I thrive in collaborative environments, participating in team-based tabletop exercises and challenges that sharpen our skills and readiness against potential threats.
