What I'm looking for

I am seeking cybersecurity roles focused on application security, SOC or VAPT where I can apply ISO 27001 and data analytics to reduce risk and improve secure development.

I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in application security, SOC analysis, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. I implement ISO 27001 practices, apply ITIL principles, and use data analytics to strengthen security posture.

At Parallex Bank Limited I perform static and dynamic scans of APIs and source code, run quarterly VAPT with OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and Checkmarx, and produce daily SOC and Database Activity Monitoring analysis reports. I also have experience provisioning Entrust soft and hard tokens and supporting secure software development.

My background includes underwriting and IT support through roles at Leadway Assurance and the Bible Society of Nigeria. I hold certifications including ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, ISC² Certified in Cybersecurity, ITIL 4 Foundation, and a Certificate in Data Analytics.
