Corey Brown Jr
@coreybrownjr
Security operations analyst with military, professional-sports, and cybersecurity training — day-one SOC ready.
What I'm looking for
I am a security operations analyst with military combat experience, professional NFL performance, and advanced cybersecurity training. I excel at rapid, accurate decision-making under extreme pressure and bring TS/SCI-equivalent clearance trustworthiness.
My background combines SOC-focused technical skills—SIEM, log analysis, alert triage, incident response—with hands-on threat assessment from both combat and elite sports. I translate elite pattern recognition and millisecond decision-making directly into threat detection and incident handling.
In industry roles I identified financial anomalies, ensured HIPAA/SOX/SOC 2 compliance, and preserved sensitive data integrity—skills that inform meticulous forensic analysis, evidence preservation, and documentation. I have completed Microsoft cybersecurity coursework and SOC-specific training, and I am pursuing Security+, AZ-900, and ethical hacking fundamentals.
I am immediately available and day-one SOC ready, offering 24/7 operational endurance, a forensic-analyst mindset rooted in accounting and military discipline, and a commitment to continuous metrics-driven improvement in detection accuracy and response times.
