Cybersecurity analyst securing enterprise systems with strong SIEM, cloud, and compliance expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity analyst with 4+ years securing enterprise systems in payment processing and financial services, focused on reducing incidents and maintaining PCI DSS and SOC 2 compliance.
I have hands-on experience with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Azure Sentinel), cloud security (AWS, Azure), vulnerability management (Nessus), and endpoint protection, and I have led incident response and audit readiness initiatives that delivered measurable reductions in incidents and improved controls.
I build automated detection and remediation workflows using PowerShell, Python, and KQL, develop clear security documentation, and partner across teams to implement least-privilege access, encryption, and process improvements that strengthen security posture while minimizing business disruption.
