At Jaiz Bank Plc, I gained exposure to IT and information security operations through briefings, demonstrations, and supervised trainee activities. I also designed a simulated financial institution network in Cisco Packet Tracer and configured VLANs and switch port security.
In my SIEM Monitoring Lab, I deployed and configured Wazuh to monitor security events and analyze host activity. I also deployed a basic honeypot to observe unauthorized connection attempts and study attacker behavior.
