Romeu Reis
@romeufreis
Cybersecurity Professional with consulting experience in GRC for banking clients, Cloud Azure-certified, open to operational roles.
What I'm looking for
As a fully dedicated Cybersecurity Professional, I combine my GRC consulting experience for both public and private banking sector clients with hands-on IT and technical support experience as a Field Service Technician.
I bring practical expertise in risk, compliance, physical security assessments and vulnerability management, as on identifying gaps on organizations' security controls, and building key performance indicators (KPIs), alongside my skills in SIEM (Splunk), network analysis (Wireshark), and firewalls (pfSense/ fortinet).
My certifications in Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) and Security, Compliance, and Identity (SC-900) provide deep understanding of cloud environments and their security controls, which I have already applied in cloud audits.
I am eager to leverage this combined IT and cybersecurity background in operational roles, working directly with cloud security, monitoring, and incident response to enhance organizational resilience against evolving threats.
