I secure enterprise networks through firewall automation, incident response, and penetration testing.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
At Xsolution, I protect a 10,000+ endpoint environment by managing Fortigate and Palo Alto firewalls, secure VPNs, network segmentation, and continuous SIEM/IDS/IPS monitoring.
I built and deployed a Python automation suite that processes large-scale Palo Alto traffic logs, generates deduplicated CLI security rules, and validates rule coverage—removing manual rule creation at enterprise scale.
I've delivered 30+ penetration test reports for 20+ clients, investigated malware and real-world forensic samples, and lead incident response with clear findings, root-cause analysis, and remediation guidance.
