About
As an Information Security Analyst, I am proficient in NIST 800-53 compliance, including security controls implementation, vulnerability management, and incident response. With a strong background in risk assessment, I conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify vulnerabilities and threats, adhering to industry best practices and security protocols.
My expertise extends to dashboard development, where I have designed and managed robust informational dashboards using advanced tools like Qlik Sense. These dashboards allow for real-time monitoring, analysis, and enhancement of security posture.
In the realm of compliance and auditing, I bring extensive experience in conducting thorough security audits and ensuring regulatory compliance, particularly in FISMA. I excel in managing Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) to drive efficient remediation efforts.
With a solid foundation in networking principles and network security, I am well-equipped to implement measures that secure network infrastructure. My technical proficiency includes expertise in tools such as Telos Xacta, Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT), CompTIA Security+, and familiarity with Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) platforms.
I possess a keen understanding of vulnerability management and excel in identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in systems and networks, employing robust techniques to enhance security.
Incident response is another area of my specialization, as I have effectively handled and promptly responded to security incidents, ensuring swift resolution and minimizing potential damage.
In implementing comprehensive security controls, I proactively protect against threats and vulnerabilities, maintaining a secure environment. I am well-versed in relevant regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, conducting audits to ensure compliance with industry standards.
Thriving on threat intelligence, I gather and analyze relevant data to proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats. My expertise in network security includes securing network infrastructure, implementing firewall rules, and utilizing intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
