Folajimi Olaniyan

I’m a results-driven SOC Analyst with a First-Class Computer Science degree and proven experience delivering first-line incident response in highly regulated financial and telecommunications environments. I’m CompTIA Security+ and AZ-900 certified, with a strong security-operations focus on measurable detection and response outcomes.

In my roles at Sterling Bank and MTN Telecommunications, I’ve supported compliance by validating critical log sources, continuously monitoring security controls, and producing audit-ready documentation. I reduced false positives by 7% by fine-tuning CrowdStrike Falcon detection rules, and I helped reduce average MTTD by 15% while responding to phishing-driven incidents.

I also bring hands-on technical depth across SIEM and network inspection—ELK, Azure Sentinel, Splunk, Wazuh, Wireshark, Zeek, tcpdump, and Sysmon—plus endpoint threat mitigation using CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. From triage to escalation, I take ownership of complex security events, streamline workflows through automation, and strengthen detection rules with threat intelligence.
