About
I am a Cybersecurity engineer, recently graduated from the New York Institute of Technology with having 7 years of IT experience in networking, configuring security, and cloud threat monitoring.
Here’s my track record of achievements as an IT professional:
• In 2014, At an age of 24, I started my own business for cloud security monitoring, got 4 big accounts, and increased business revenue by almost 35%.
• In 2014, recognized as a record-breaking Incident responder closing 100 tickets in one month.
• Excelled in data migration, upgrading, and troubleshooting Intuit QuickBooks Enterprise accounting software on my own.
According to the FBI, there was a 62% increase in ransomware incidents in the US in the same period that followed an increase of 20% for the year 2020 alone. They reported 2,084 ransomware complaints from January to July 31, 2021. This represents a 62% year-over-year increase. To combat this growing trend of cyberattacks we need immediate responders. A security incident and cyber-attack can cost an organization time, money, its reputation, and, ultimately, its customers.
Therefore, I am determined to build my skills in Intrusion detection, malware analysis, using SIEM, eDiscovery, and various others tools to help my dream organization solve this problem.
Please feel free to explore my work and contact me so we can discuss how we can do some great work together.
