Ike Otuonye

I’m a cybersecurity student and SOC Analyst candidate with 6+ years of experience in quality assurance, compliance, automation, and risk analysis. I bring a strong foundation in NIST Cybersecurity Framework, MITRE ATT&CK, SOC 2 controls, and security operations.

In my current role as a Senior Quality Assurance Analyst at DISA, I lead quality review processes for a 10+ member investigative team and run quality audits on 1,500+ monthly background investigations. I apply root cause analysis to reduce recurring operational errors by 15% and maintain compliance with FCRA regulations and internal security standards.

For security work, I’m building practical tools in Python for SOC-style workflows—such as monitoring security logs, detecting suspicious activity, and generating structured incident alerts. I’ve also developed log analysis and threat intelligence applications to identify failed logins, account changes, privilege escalation events, and malicious indicators.

I’m seeking a Cybersecurity Analyst or SOC Analyst internship where I can apply SIEM monitoring, log analysis, threat hunting, and incident detection skills while continuing to grow in incident response and vulnerability assessment.
