I Gassama

I am a result-driven cybersecurity specialist with over 10 years securing enterprise and healthcare infrastructures, including large-scale environments with 40,000+ endpoints. I bring deep hands-on experience in SOC L2/L3 operations, incident response, vulnerability management, and maturing security postures.

At IBM I orchestrate real-time threat detection and response, integrated security tools through automation with Python, and reduced manual triage time while leading vulnerability remediation and Zero Trust perimeter defenses. At Mount Sinai I managed endpoint security, deployed MFA organization-wide, authored the Incident Response Plan, and worked cross-functionally to secure medical IoT and ensure HIPAA compliance.

I combine technical leadership with mentoring junior analysts and practical tool expertise (QRadar, Splunk, EDR, Qualys/Nessus, Palo Alto/Cisco). I am driven to design resilient security architectures, automate detection and response, and continuously reduce organizational risk.
