Cybersecurity Professional specializing in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Security Operations. Developed and implemented security controls aligned with NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and other standards, enhancing organizational cybersecurity posture. Conducted technology risk assessments and supported security audits to fortify compliance and strengthen governance frameworks.
Cybersecurity Governance & Policy Management:
• Develop and maintain cybersecurity policies, standards, and procedures aligned with frameworks including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls, ensuring governance consistency across enterprise systems.
• Coordinate periodic policy and control reviews, ensuring cybersecurity standards remain aligned with regulatory and business requirements.
• Support implementation of security governance frameworks to strengthen enterprise security posture.
Enterprise Risk Management:
• Conduct cybersecurity risk assessments across enterprise infrastructure and cloud platforms using Tenable Nessus and Qualys, identifying vulnerabilities across Windows, Linux, and hybrid environments.
• Evaluate vulnerabilities based on CVSS severity, exploitability, and business impact, prioritizing remediation activities for critical systems.
• Maintain enterprise risk registers, documenting security risks, mitigation strategies, and remediation timelines.
• Perform security assessments for new technologies and systems, identifying potential risks and recommending mitigation strategies.
Compliance & Audit Support:
• Support compliance initiatives aligned with ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GDPR, ensuring enterprise security controls meet regulatory requirements.
• Prepare audit documentation and evidence required for internal and external cybersecurity audits.
• Conduct compliance gap assessments and support remediation activities to improve control maturity.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management:
• Conduct third-party vendor security assessments, reviewing vendor security documentation and evaluating supplier compliance with corporate cybersecurity requirements.
• Maintain vendor risk registers and coordinate remediation activities for identified supplier security risks.
IT–OT Security Governance Alignment:
• Support governance alignment between enterprise IT systems and operational technology (OT) environments, ensuring consistent security control implementation across corporate and operational systems.
• Evaluate cybersecurity risks affecting industrial systems, considering operational availability, safety requirements, and potential production impacts.
• Incorporate guidance from NIST CSF frameworks when evaluating technology risks and governance controls.
Security Metrics & Governance Reporting:
Created and maintained security metrics dashboards to track vulnerability remediation timelines, policy compliance status, and risk remediation progress, providing actionable insights for leadership.
• Prepared governance reports and security posture updates for leadership, providing visibility into enterprise cybersecurity risks and mitigation activities.
• Supported governance reviews by presenting risk trends, compliance status, and security control effectiveness to internal stakeholders.
Incident Response & Threat Investigation:
• Investigated security incidents using Splunk and CrowdStrike Falcon, correlating logs across endpoints, servers, and network systems to identify indicators of compromise.
• Conducted forensic investigations using FTK and Autopsy, identifying root causes of security incidents and validating remediation efforts.
• Isolated compromised endpoints and coordinated remediation with infrastructure teams, enhancing overall security posture.
Security Monitoring & Threat Detection:
• Monitored enterprise security alerts using Splunk SIEM, detecting abnormal behavior across on-premise and cloud environments.
• Conducted proactive threat hunting using Wireshark and threat intelligence platforms, identifying hidden threats across enterprise systems.
• Tuned SIEM detection rules, enhancing detection accuracy and minimizing false positives.
Cloud Security & Identity Protection:
• Monitored cloud environments using Azure Sentinel and AWS GuardDuty, identifying misconfigurations and unauthorized access attempts.
• Strengthened identity security with Azure AD and Microsoft Entra ID, implementing MFA and enforcing least privilege access policies to mitigate risks.
• Hardened Active Directory security configurations to prevent privilege escalation.
Security Metrics & Incident Reporting:
• Generated incident response metrics and monitoring reports, providing insights into alert trends, incident response times, and detection efficiency.
• Documented post-incident findings and contributed to improving incident response playbooks and detection rules.
• Provided updates to leadership on security incidents, investigation outcomes, and remediation actions.
