Phatsimo Pheko
@phatsimopheko
Cybersecurity consultant focused on SOC operations, Wazuh SIEM, and cloud security engineering.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity consultant with hands-on experience in SOC operations, SIEM deployment, and security event monitoring. I work across cloud and on-premises environments, using Wazuh SIEM for threat detection, alert triage, log analysis, and incident response.
In my current role as a SOC Analyst / Cybersecurity Consultant, I deploy and configure Wazuh SIEM, manage agent deployment and log ingestion, and continuously monitor endpoints for security events. I produce independent SecOps reports with threat detection findings, alert severity, and remediation recommendations—along with internal documentation that standardizes the security reporting methodology.
I’m also actively building toward a cloud security engineering role at the intersection of security operations and cloud infrastructure. With three OCI 2025 certifications and a Cisco CyberOps credential, I focus on cloud security, cloud infrastructure architecture, and observability.
