Goodness Ibeh

 I am a cyber security and Web services professional with years of experience in the digital space. I  transitioned from design and development to the cybersecurity space with CyberSoc Africa. In my role of Cyber Security Analyst for CyberSoc Africa, I analyzed and monitored data from several security solutions deployed by several banks and other financial institutions within and outside Nigeria. These solutions included SIEMs (Microfocus Arcsight, Alienvault, IBM QRADAR) and End Point Detection And Response Systems (Microsoft Defender for End Point, DarkTrace, VMWare Carbon Black, RSA Netwitness). I've been involved in the deployment and engineering of these solutions thanks to my understanding of how they should be used and what Data they should capture.

My Progress at CyberSOC which is rated as the best MSSP in Africa led me to an information security analyst role at one of Africa's biggest FinTech giants, eTranzact PLC, where i currently lead the SOC team while working with various tools such as WAF, SIEM, IPS, XDR, FIM, DAM, Firewalls, NAC, etc

I am detail driven with an eye for spotting anomalies. My analytical skills are sharp and I am able to solve complex problems. I possess excellent time management skills and am able to meet deadlines for multiple projects. I am very knowledgeable in the use of computers and programs geared toward digital security. I am often the go-to person on staff for assistance with repairing glitches and understanding errors. I would love the opportunity to be your company’s go-to person as your next Cyber Security Analyst.

I am quite certain you will find my expertise and talents to be what you are looking for in a Cyber Security Analyst should you need one.
