Here's a more concise version, addressing your points: I safeguard digital assets and ensure operational continuity by identifying risks and protecting against costly downtime and breaches.Overcoming a major health challenge has shaped my resilience and problem-solving abilities, which I bring to the cybersecurity field. My hands-on experience includes penetration testing, with several client engagements, including an on-site internal network evaluation. These experiences have honed my ability to uncover vulnerabilities before they are exploited.I have contributed to multiple comprehensive client reports, featuring findings, actionable recommendations, and visual aids for swift remediation. My mentorship has fueled my hands-on pentesting knowledge, and I excel in network security with a growing focus on application security skills. I've successfully cracked passwords and leveraged AI and Metasploit to identify real vulnerabilities during engagements.My knowledge is underpinned by certifications like (ISC)²'s CC, Google's Cybersecurity Professional Certification, and Security+. I'm actively enhancing my skills through platforms like TryHackMe, currently working through the SOC 1 learning path after completing two previous paths. I'm also utilizing Blue Team Labs Online to further develop my defensive security skills and conduct independent cybersecurity projects.I've executed port scans and vulnerability assessments using Greenbone Vulnerability Management, analyzing 20 to 200 IP addresses per engagement. By reviewing and validating vulnerabilities across multiple client environments, I've reduced false positives by 100% for accurate risk reporting.My passion extends to defending against adversarial AI, driving me to constantly study new attack strategies and explore emerging technologies. I seek a team that values defense-in-depth and growth, where I can use my resilience and skills to protect vital systems.Feel free to contact me at frank.broesche@gmail.com to discuss how I can contribute to your team.Skills:Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (nmap, OpenVAS, Metasploit)Network Security (firewalls, IDS/IPS, segmentation)SIEM & SOC Operations fundamentalsCloud Security FundamentalsCompliance Frameworks (NIST, HIPAA)Operating Systems (Windows, Linux)Technical DocumentationRisk AnalysisMalware PreventionScripting fundamentals (Python)Password Cracking TechniquesAI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery
