My role involves monitoring and investigating security incidents, analyzing threats and IOCs, coordinating with internal teams and MSSPs, and continuously improving SOC processes and security controls. I am passionate about strengthening organizational cybersecurity, mentoring colleagues, and staying ahead of the evolving threat landscape. Why I Am Applying – Future Leader Award I am applying for the Future Leader Award to gain recognition for my contribution to cybersecurity operations and to demonstrate my commitment to continuous professional growth and leadership. Throughout my career, I have focused not only on resolving security incidents but also on improving processes, collaborating across teams, and contributing to initiatives that enhance the organization's overall security posture.
