Sumayyah Ajike Zubair

I’m a First Class Honours Software Engineering graduate and NYSC Corps Member with hands-on expertise in cybersecurity, application security, and IT security operations. I bring a structured, analytical mindset to threat detection, incident response, and security documentation—ready to deliver immediate value in remote security roles.

In SOC and incident response work, I leverage SIEM monitoring and log analysis to triage alerts and support investigation workflows aligned to NIST CSF. I’ve built lab-ready detections using Wazuh (Indexer, Dashboard, Manager) and emulated kernel-level threats to validate detection fidelity through threat hunting.

For application security and secure delivery, I integrate vulnerability assessment into CI/CD using Semgrep (SAST) and Gitleaks (secrets detection), then run DAST with OWASP ZAP against Dockerised applications. I also produce OWASP-aligned remediation reporting with risk ratings, evidence, and prioritized mitigations.

I’m actively strengthening my foundation through programs like SheCode Africa and ongoing CompTIA Security+ while completing ISO 27001 foundations. I enjoy turning security insights into practical controls—pipelines, detections, and incident tracking—so teams can detect, contain, and remediate faster.
