What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong foundation in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and incident management. My experience at Socnology LLC has allowed me to lead initiatives that resulted in a 30% reduction in cyberattacks through proactive threat analysis and the implementation of effective incident response protocols. I have a proven track record of enhancing security postures by conducting thorough vulnerability assessments and aligning practices with ISO 27001 standards.
My journey in cybersecurity began with a comprehensive training program at Masterschool, where I specialized in Networking, Operating Systems, and Python. This training equipped me with the skills to conduct vulnerability management using tools like Nessus and to optimize security policies through simulations with PwC Switzerland. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and collaborative approach to drive security improvements and foster a culture of awareness within teams.
