@kumadavid
Detail-oriented cybersecurity analyst specializing in threat detection and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Cybersecurity Analyst with over 2 years of hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and digital forensics, focused on reducing vulnerabilities and improving organizational security posture. I have implemented endpoint protection, optimized SIEM configurations, conducted vulnerability assessments, and developed incident playbooks that measurably improved detection accuracy and reduced response times.
I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to implement access controls, multi-factor authentication, and secure password policies while delivering cybersecurity awareness training. My work has driven quantifiable improvements — including reduced malware infections, fewer false positives, faster recovery times, and stronger compliance — and I am passionate about leveraging technology to safeguard critical assets and enable secure operations.
