Cyber Defense Specialist focused on threat detection and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a Cyber Defense Specialist with a strong background in threat detection, incident response, and security monitoring within Security Operations Center (SOC) environments. My expertise lies in analyzing security incidents, mitigating risks, and implementing effective remediation strategies to enhance organizational defenses. I have successfully reduced incident response times by 20% and improved overall security posture through proactive threat prevention and vulnerability management.
In my previous role as a Security Analyst at IREMBO, I monitored and responded to security incidents using Splunk SIEM, collaborating with incident response teams to perform root cause analysis. My efforts in developing incident response playbooks optimized processes and significantly improved resolution times. I am passionate about building resilient and secure systems that align with organizational objectives and am committed to staying ahead of emerging threats through continuous learning and skill enhancement.
