Henry Hilton
@henryhilton
Cybersecurity specialist with hands-on experience in offensive security.
What I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated cybersecurity specialist with extensive hands-on experience in offensive security, incident response, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). My career has been marked by a proven track record of rapid threat containment and precise detection rule engineering, particularly in fast-paced environments. At InfoVista, I utilized Microsoft Sentinel and the MITRE ATT&CK framework to drive immediate containment of critical alerts, effectively shrinking exploit windows to mere minutes.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong focus on vulnerability management and automation. I successfully triaged and closed over 200 vulnerabilities, prioritizing them by business risk and automating continuous scans with Nessus. My commitment to improving security protocols is evident in my development of incident response playbooks and my advocacy for secure coding practices, including the adoption of memory-safe languages like Rust and Go. I am passionate about aligning security policies with international standards such as ISO 27001 and GDPR, ensuring compliance while reducing audit findings.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to lead and innovate. I built an onboarding program that transformed new L1 analysts into productive responders, ensuring sustained 24x7 coverage with rapid after-hours response. My diverse experience, from systems administration to cybersecurity, equips me with a unique perspective on the challenges organizations face today.
