What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building hands-on cybersecurity operations experience in security monitoring, incident response, vulnerability assessment, threat hunting, and network defense.

At Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC), I monitor security events, investigate network traffic, and support incident response within the Information Systems Security team.

I conduct vulnerability assessments using Nessus and Nmap, research threats and indicators of compromise, and analyze traffic with ElastiFlow. I also support Palo Alto firewall and Panorama administration, policy reviews, hardening, security reporting, ticketing, and change management.

I've built hands-on network defense skills through firewall configuration and policy assessment, including NAT, segmentation, IPSec and GlobalProtect VPNs, and log forwarding. I hold CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ certifications and a degree in Information Assurance and Security from IIUM.
