Motivated cybersecurity professional skilled in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and secure IT support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a motivated and detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and IT support. I use tools like Metasploit, Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite to identify and mitigate security risks, while implementing security best practices and conducting risk assessments to keep IT operations smooth and secure.
Through roles in IT Support at ABUMDAF and as a Cybersecurity Tutor at LISF NABU, I’ve supported hardware/software/network systems, monitored for potential vulnerabilities, assisted with incident response activities, and delivered practical training on ethical hacking and defensive security techniques. I also build security awareness and incident response simulations through projects like phishing/social engineering education and incident response drills.
