🛡️ Tuning EDR solutions (Defender, CrowdStrike, Carbon Black) to reduce noise & stop ransomware

☁️ Securing cloud environments (AWS, Azure, SaaS) with IAM, MFA & Zero Trust principles

📊 Driving vulnerability management (Tenable, Qualys, Nessus) with risk-based prioritization

📜 Mapping & implementing controls to NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, CIS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR

🤝 Supporting third-party risk assessments & ensuring compliance readiness

⚡ I’m passionate about translating technical risk into business impact, closing audit gaps, and building resilient systems in fast-moving, hybrid environments.

🎯 Key strengths include incident response, threat hunting, IAM, cloud security, GRC, and security awareness training.
