What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in cybersecurity, with a focus on innovative security solutions and team collaboration.

As a Senior Cybersecurity Specialist, I have honed my skills in managing and enhancing security postures through the effective use of SIEM, NDR, and EDR technologies. My journey in cybersecurity has been marked by a commitment to protecting enterprise environments from evolving cyber threats. I have a proven track record of managing incident response, conducting risk assessments, and implementing vendor security management strategies.

At Rambus Chip Technologies, I led the deployment and optimization of endpoint security strategies, utilizing tools like LogRhythm and CrowdStrike for real-time threat detection. My role involved investigating security alerts, executing mitigation strategies, and collaborating with IT teams to ensure compliance with security standards. I also spearheaded security awareness programs, including phishing simulations and penetration testing coordination, to foster a culture of security within the organization.

With a strong foundation in security operations, risk and compliance, and data protection, I am dedicated to staying ahead of emerging threats and continuously improving security measures. I am eager to leverage my expertise to contribute to an organization's cybersecurity efforts and drive impactful results.
