@okikijesuodubawo
Cybersecurity-focused risk analyst with 4+ years in financial services and data protection.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and adaptable professional with over four years' experience in financial services and digital operations, specializing in client data verification, risk evaluation, and regulatory compliance. I manage sensitive information with precision and integrity to support secure, efficient business processes.
Currently transitioning into cybersecurity, I have hands-on experience with threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, incident response, and security tooling including SIEM, IDS/IPS, Nessus/OpenVAS, and endpoint protection. I have completed practical projects—malware analysis using Nmap, Metasploit, Msfvenom and log analysis in Splunk—and attended a cybersecurity bootcamp.
I bring strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and operational risk expertise to information security roles, and I am eager to apply these strengths to help organizations strengthen their security posture and protect critical data assets.
