Megan Gilley
@megangilley
Cybersecurity professional protecting networks with SIEM monitoring, IDS, and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I rely on SIEM monitoring, IDS, and network traffic analysis to detect threats early and support security risk assessment and mitigation. I focus on log analysis and security event correlation to connect the dots during incident detection and response.
Since Aug 2021, I’ve led investigations at Colorado Private Investigators LLC, planning and running background, compliance, and fraud inquiries. I’ve collected, preserved, and analyzed evidence with documented chain of custody, then prepared comprehensive reports for legal proceedings while collaborating with law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
Before that, I supervised field teams as a Mover / Team Lead at Paladin Movers LLC, keeping operations aligned with safety procedures and improving incident documentation practices. I also managed secure transactions, inventory control, and compliance-related reporting as a Sales Associate at Game Quest.
I’m building formal cybersecurity capabilities through the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate on Coursera, including network security & defense, detection & response, SIEM & IDS tools, and cybersecurity automation with Python. I’m committed to defensive security improvements through ethical practices and continuous learning.
