IT Specialist

My role as an Information Security intern is to learn as much as I can about information security and the cybersecurity industry. So far I have been able to learn the ins and outs of our company's Azure cloud environment and have gotten hands on experience using Azure Sentinel and Microsoft Defender. I have learned how to use Lacework to monitor for threats, and have built a connector to send those threat alerts to our Sentinel platform.

I have also worked with Black Kite to discover vulnerable company assets and hunt for those issues myself. I collaborated with the InfoSec and IT teams to determine the status of these assets and assisted the appropriate team member with remediating the vulnerabilities.

I contributed help to Corcentric's SOC audit, where I revised and formatted the companies policy documents and gathered evidence for the auditor's requests.
