What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with over 5 years of experience specializing in IT security and Blue Team operations for multinational organizations. My expertise lies in optimizing Security Operations Center (SOC) performance, where I have successfully reduced false positives by 25% and implemented scalable Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. I am adept at aligning cybersecurity strategies with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and NIST, ensuring robust threat detection and incident response capabilities.
In my current role as a Cybersecurity Manager at PwC Italy, I lead a team of 10 professionals, enhancing threat detection for multinational clients and co-developing rapid response protocols that have cut resolution times for high-priority incidents by 30%. My previous experience as a Detection Engineer and SIEM Admin at Generali involved managing a team to maintain and optimize Splunk Cloud and Enterprise Security, where I developed over 120 advanced detection rules to improve threat identification and mitigation capabilities. I am passionate about driving innovation and resilience in cybersecurity projects, and I thrive in collaborative environments that prioritize continuous improvement.
