John Leo Dela Cruz

I am an IT graduate transitioning into cybersecurity and SOC operations, combining industrial operations experience with formal cybersecurity training and certifications. I have developed practical incident detection, alert triage, and root-cause analysis skills through monitoring complex production systems and structured labs.

My hands-on background includes SIEM analysis (Splunk, ELK), network traffic analysis, vulnerability identification with OpenVAS/Nessus, and scripting in Python and Bash. I hold CompTIA CySA+, Security+, CCNA, and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity credentials and have completed practical SOC and networking bootcamps.

I bring operational discipline, a proactive approach to threat monitoring, and a track record of reducing downtime through structured troubleshooting and incident handling. I am seeking a SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst role where I can apply my analytical skills and contribute to resilient security operations.
