Elijah Nailor

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity graduate and certified digital forensics analyst with hands-on experience assessing municipal network infrastructures, identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and producing prioritized remediation reports. I translate technical findings into actionable guidance that stakeholders can use immediately.

In my current Cyber Graduate Student Research Assistant role with the Maine Cyber Range, I partner with multiple municipal IT departments to gather network and asset documentation—topology, endpoints, servers, network devices, and software/OS versions—then assess exposure to vulnerabilities, legacy/supportability gaps, and hardware/software mismatches.

I conduct research-backed vulnerability and misconfiguration analysis, map observed conditions to security frameworks and controls (NIST, ISO, CIS), and collaborate with cross-functional teams to coordinate analysis tasks and communicate results. I’ve produced 20–40 page assessment reports with executive summaries and technical annexes, turning multi-source findings into clear risk statements and step-by-step remediation recommendations.
