@joabkose
Cybersecurity engineer securing cloud and enterprise systems with proven incident response and compliance expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity engineer with over five years of experience implementing and managing enterprise-wide Information Security Management Programs, safeguarding assets in highly digitized environments. I focus on risk management, compliance with ISO 27001, and embedding secure architectural patterns into DevOps lifecycles.
I have designed and monitored AWS and Azure cloud security per CIS benchmarks, led incident response initiatives for financial clients, and deployed SIEM/SOAR solutions that improved incident response times by 30% and reduced response time by 95% in triage scenarios. I automate security logging, integrate SOAR playbooks with Python, and design IAM and secrets-management solutions for multi-cloud environments.
I bring hands-on network and infrastructure security experience from roles across BFSI and education sectors, including firewall and server hardening, NMS and IDS deployments, vulnerability management, and forensic analysis. I collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to build secure CI/CD pipelines and foster stakeholder partnerships that strengthen organizational security posture.
