Mikel Viteri

I’m a Geopolitical and intelligence analyst with proven experience operating in a Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC) environment, providing 24/7 intelligence support across active conflict theatres including North Africa, the Sahel, Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe (Ukraine), and the Middle East. I specialize in OSINT, multi-source analysis, threat monitoring, and structured intelligence reporting for defence contractors and multinational corporate clients in high-risk contexts.

In GSOC/SOC operations, I produce actionable intelligence products such as Kidnap for Ransom (KR) bulletins, ground-truth security assessments, situation reports on conflict dynamics, and Business Intelligence reports developed in collaboration with the analytical team. I deliver real-time threat alerting on emerging security incidents—including terrorist attacks, civil unrest, and sub-media events—so clients can support proactive risk mitigation and operational decisions. I also operate within ISO/IEC 27001-aligned information security and confidentiality standards across collection, processing, and reporting.

Beyond threat monitoring, I’ve translated complex regional dynamics into structured intelligence products as an Intelligence Analyst – Americas. I monitored political, economic, and security developments across Latin American markets to identify emerging risks and opportunities with direct impact on business and operational environments, maintaining rigorous analytical standards under tight publication deadlines.

I’ve also strengthened my security mindset through a Defence Consultant role in the UK Ministry of Defence’s Hacking for Defence Programme, working in security-restricted environments with strict information handling and physical device controls. Now, I’m deepening my technical capabilities in cybersecurity and ethical hacking—backed by my Master’s in Cybersecurity (with OSINT and ethical hacking/penetration testing using Python-based tooling) and continuous OSINT learning.
