Building Cyber Defenses from the Hacker's Perspective.I understand the challenges organizations face in securing their digital assets. As a security consultant, I use my offensive expertise in penetration testing and threat assessments to uncover vulnerabilities in cloud and on-premise environments. I go beyond mere identification – I help you build robust defensive strategies. My skillset includes threat hunting, incident response, detection engineering, SOC operations, SIEM deployments, and even the crafting of cyber deception tactics. This ensures your organization has a comprehensive security posture, proactively defending against ever-evolving threats.Certifications.Hack The Box | Dante & Zephyr Pro Lab certificatesCESP | Certified Enterprise Security Professional by Altered SecurityCARTP | Certified Azure Read Team Professional by Altered SecuritySC-200 | Microsoft Certified Security Operations Analyst Associate BLT1 | Security Blue TeameJPT | Junior Penetration Tester from eLearnSecurityINE | Cloud Fundamentals CertificationACE-T™ Level 10 (BHIS CyberRange, top 4%) - https://lookup.hackhills.com/?fname=Hjortur&lname=PalssonCourses completed:Antisyphon: Applied Purple Teaming | Kent Ickler and Jordan Drysdate (Feb 2022 - 16hrs)Antisyphon: Modern WebApp Pentesting | BB King (Feb 2022 - 16hrs)Volunteer:BSides Copenhagen 2021 - DefensiveCTF challenge creatorCTFs:2022 - Icelands National CTF tournament: 5th place
