Gerald Ihekwaba

I am a CompTIA Security+ certified cybersecurity professional with a solid academic foundation and hands-on experience in security analysis, detection, and response. My expertise spans both defensive and offensive cybersecurity skills, enabling me to effectively monitor and mitigate threats in real-time. I have a strong command of SIEM tools such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and ELK Stack, which I utilize for comprehensive threat monitoring and incident response.

My academic journey includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Cybersecurity from Dublin Business School and a BSc in Computer Science from Babcock University in Nigeria. I have successfully deployed a Cowrie honeypot to capture SSH brute force attacks, integrating it with cloud-based SIEM tools for enhanced threat detection. My commitment to cybersecurity extends beyond technical skills; I am dedicated to hosting security awareness training and adapting to dynamic environments with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
