Shinitra Jones
@shinitrajones
Cybersecurity analyst specializing in vulnerability management, threat detection, SIEM monitoring, and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with 4+ years of experience in vulnerability management, threat detection, SIEM monitoring, incident response, and cloud security. I focus on reducing risk quickly by applying CVSS/CVE remediation, tracking KEVs, and enforcing DISA STIG and other compliance requirements.
In my current role supporting enterprise environments, I identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities across IT systems, networks, applications, and cloud. I coordinated remediation through ticketing workflows and achieved approximately 95% critical patch completion within 30 days.
I strengthen security operations by continuously monitoring logs and investigating anomalies across platforms including AWS, Box, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, CrowdStrike, Splunk, and Sumo Logic. I build and maintain security dashboards for 100+ log sources, investigate AWS GuardDuty alerts using CloudWatch/CloudTrail, and help reduce cloud incident triage time through faster, better visibility.
I also lead investigation quality improvements through alert tuning and threat hunting, including MITRE ATT&CK-based Purple Team engagements. I support incident response and audit/compliance evidence collection for frameworks such as FedRAMP, SOC 1/2, HITRUST, PCI, and NIST—while improving detection, containment, and organizational security posture using automation and scripting.
