PwC
Senior Associate, Cyber Ops
I monitored, investigated, responded-to, and reported on security incidents and events pertaining to tens of thousands of endpoints across multiple domains at a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). Every day, I consulted with distributed team members about unique events as they arise. I triaged alerts and alarms initiated from SIEM, Endpoint, DLP, O365, and ticketing tools, and conducted initial threat intelligence research using open source tools like VirusTotal, DNSDumpster, IPVoid, Shodan, etc. In addition to this, I assisted the pentesting team by researching, writing, and providing contextualized reports to widely-dispersed internal IT teams. In my role, I'm always learning, and applying that knowledge almost immediately to help my team defend an important federal client.

About
I'm part news junkie, part technology geek working every day to better understand the evolving ins and outs of infosec tradecraft. My top skills are my resourcefulness, my drive to fit that final puzzle piece in the set, and applying my background in social science and international relations to help my team stay informed of the latest goings-on of Advanced Persistent Threats. I love learning, so I guess I picked the right career. I enjoy researching exploits and vulnerabilities and how attackers do their dirty work. I like writing reports and presenting findings (seriously), and contributing to a team's mission. I have experience managing people, projects, operations, and programs, as well as the ability to describe complex issues to a wide variety of stakeholders. I also am adept at embedding buzz words into LinkedIn profiles. Oh, and, I will always use the Oxford comma.
