As an experienced Cyber Data Protection Analyst, I serve as an escalation point for regional and global information security incidents, providing support and coordinating responses during regional business hours. My role involves performing daily reviews of reports and alerts to identify security events that require further investigation, and escalating such events as needed. I mentor junior team members, guiding them in their professional growth and development. I handle complex and high-severity security threats and incidents, ensuring prompt validation and thorough investigation of all identified events. By collaborating with other technical teams in InfoSec, I work to identify, resolve, and mitigate security events, offering advice and guidance on response action plans based on incident type and severity. In addition to these responsibilities, I assist with threat containment and remediation, develop new use cases for SIEM logic, and engage in cyber threat hunts to support global cyber operations.
