Elizabeth Erich

I am a highly motivated U.S. Coast Guard Operations Specialist veteran transitioning into cybersecurity. With a strong foundation in command, control, communications, and emergency response operations, I have developed a robust skill set in network security, system monitoring, and incident response. My experience managing and securing critical information systems has equipped me with the ability to identify potential security risks and support secure IT operations effectively.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, collaborating across teams to achieve mission-critical outcomes. I have a proven track record of responding to and coordinating emergency and security events, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity frameworks. My technical expertise includes using SIEM tools like Google Chronicle and Splunk, conducting vulnerability assessments, and performing system administration tasks using Linux and Bash scripting.

I am currently seeking a cybersecurity role focused on protecting assets, analyzing threats, and supporting incident response while further developing my technical and analytical skills. I am eager to contribute to a team that values strong communication and collaboration, and I am committed to continuous learning in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.
