FOLAJIMI Igbekoyi

I’m a results-driven Senior Cyber-Security Engineer with 5+ years of experience, CEH v12, CompTIA Security+, and CompTIA Network+. I’ve implemented ISO-27001:2022 and NDPA-2023 frameworks, reducing insider-threat risk by 40% while strengthening operational security through practical controls and continuous improvement.

In SOC and security engineering, I focus on measurable outcomes: I improved network uptime by 35% by migrating to pfSense with IDS/IPS failover, and I increased threat-blocking by 30% by tuning Suricata rules and integrating MISP feeds—cutting false positives by 18%. I build and operationalize Zero-Trust and IAM patterns (Okta, Azure AD), and I use SIEM/SOAR to automate detection and response workflows.

Compliance and leadership are core to how I work. I led an ISO-27001:2022 surveillance audit in 2024 with zero major non-conformities and ran NDPA-2023 gap analysis to guide remediation. I’ve also mentored 3 junior analysts and created SOC-2-Type-II evidence trails that supported a clean audit, while delivering secure automation like my Tenable → Jira CVE pipeline (patch time from 21 to 5 days).

As Founder & CTO of Carterskennel, I’ve applied security-by-design thinking from day one—building an AWS-based ERP/HRIS with Terraform and GitHub Actions and reaching SOC-2-Type-I readiness. I’m now seeking senior or lead cybersecurity roles in EU-based or remote-first organizations, focused on Cloud Security, Zero-Trust, DevSecOps, and privacy/reg-tech ownership (GDPR, NIS-2, DORA, SOC-2, ISO-27001 roadmaps).
