Youssef Ben Gamra
@youssefbengamra
Cybersecurity analyst focused on SOC and SIEM detection, who built a Wazuh-Zabbix pipeline with AI risk scoring and automated response.
TunisiaWhat I'm looking for
At SNIT Sud, I deployed Zabbix and Wazuh/ELK across six hosts, monitoring more than 10,000 security events per day. I developed a Python integration bridge for centralized alerting and automated workflows.
I added contextual risk scoring and Isolation Forest anomaly detection, generating eight Zabbix triggers. I also automated four response use cases and validated the detection-to-response pipeline across five Kali Linux attack scenarios, with a mean time to detect below 60 seconds.
At Dhaman Assurance & Réassurance, I reverse-engineered a MySQL schema from PHP source code, debugged backend issues, and performed authorized OWASP Top 10 testing. My other security work includes web application penetration testing at Cœur Blanc and personal projects in Android auditing and vulnerability scanning.
