What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and collaboration in cybersecurity, where I can leverage my skills to enhance security measures and contribute to a proactive security posture.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security Analyst with a strong expertise in implementing advanced security measures and protocols. My experience spans across multiple cybersecurity tools, including Palo Alto XDR, Qradar SIEM, and SentinelOne EDR. I thrive in collaborative environments, managing security alerts and conducting in-depth analysis to safeguard information systems.

Throughout my career, I have successfully detected high-risk exposures via Cyble’s dark web and brand monitoring, enabling timely remediation and improved threat visibility. I am committed to staying updated with the latest trends in cybersecurity, which empowers me to provide insightful advisories in the field. My proactive approach includes working with threat hunting teams to eradicate threats within the network and preparing detailed reports to ensure comprehensive security management.
