Summary

I started as a SOC Analyst, spending four years enhancing my skills in threat detection and incident response to protect the Bank's critical assets. After this, I transitioned to working as a VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing), supporting projects with security tests. Later, I specialized in email security. My role is to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the bank's data, whether it is being used, transmitted, or stored. I am responsible for preventing, detecting, and mitigating security threats to the bank's email and collaboration infrastructure.
