What I'm looking for
I am a motivated and certified entry-level Information Security Professional with a strong foundational knowledge in cybersecurity principles, risk management, and network defense. I hold the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) and CompTIA Security+ certifications, which have equipped me with the skills necessary to conduct security assessments, identify vulnerabilities, and develop effective mitigation strategies.
Through hands-on projects, I have demonstrated my ability to perform vulnerability scans and create professional remediation reports. My personal lab experiences, including setting up a virtual environment and applying security best practices, have further solidified my understanding of cybersecurity. I am eager to contribute to a team environment and grow within the field of information security and governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC).
