Cybersecurity specialist delivering system hardening, vulnerability analysis, and penetration testing in ISO/IEC 27001 contexts.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cybersecurity Specialist focused on IT security, system hardening, and vulnerability analysis. I combine practical Security Operations (SOC) experience with penetration testing fundamentals, including attack path and attack technique simulation across Windows, Linux, and Active Directory environments.
As a freelance IT Security Consultant, I execute vulnerability assessments, security reviews, and penetration testing, then translate findings into technical documentation, security concepts, and actionable recommendations for SMEs. I’m grounded in information security and data protection standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR, and I actively support continuous improvement through incident response and threat monitoring.
