Brian K. Email & Phone Number

I am a dedicated and performance-driven cybersecurity professional with comprehensive experience in managing multiple central SIEMs and leading key initiatives in incident response, training, and data analytics and threat hunting.In my role as a Junior Analyst, I have consistently ranked among the top performers by effectively managing SIEMs and ensuring optimal security operations. As an on-call Incident Response (IR) specialist, I provide 24x7 escalation support for shift leads, serving as a reliable point of contact during critical incidents. I have honed my leadership skills by continuing and delivering an 8-week training program for junior analysts, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle queue responsibilities and advance in their cyber tenure. My leadership extends to my role as a Fire Team Lead, where I conduct monthly and bimonthly metric and quality audits for tenured analysts, contributing to their technical and professional development. I have created robust processes to relay in-depth metrics to direct supervisors and perform comprehensive analyst progression analysis.My expertise also includes reviewing customer environments prior to their go-live dates, offering feedback on their security posture, and preparing them for seamless monitoring. Post go-live, I provide on-demand and ad hoc tuning to eliminate false positives in the SIEM, ensuring continuous improvement in security monitoring.In addition to my hands-on technical skills, I excel in data analytics, delivering detailed metrics to upper leadership that inform strategic decisions and drive team growth. As a Sentinelone SME and MES Threat Hunter, I maintain the security posture for standalone MES customers, engage actively with them, and conduct threat hunts to ensure their environments remain secure.I am passionate about cybersecurity and committed to advancing both my skills and the overall security posture of the organizations I support.
