Mustafa Can Email & Phone Number

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Electronics Engineering (2023) and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in the same field. After graduation, I shifted my focus toward cybersecurity and operational technologies, expanding my expertise through specialized courses and certifications. I have developed strong skills in network security, penetration testing, and threat hunting, with a particular focus on OT security. In this area, I work with SIEM systems to safeguard critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

  Siskon Yazılım & Otomasyon

  Jul 2022 - Aug 2022 - İzmir, Türkiye

  I gained hands-on experience with Beckhoff PLC systems, where I programmed and configured automation processes. Additionally, I worked with Siemens PLCs using TIA Portal to develop, simulate, and troubleshoot automation workflows, including integrating Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and configuring network settings for industrial systems. In parallel with automation, I focused on OT security, where I analyzed network traffic and packet headers manually to identify potential security threats. Without relying on SIEM systems, I used packet capturing tools (such as Wireshark) to inspect network packets in real-time. This allowed me to monitor communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC-UA) and examine packet headers for anomalies like unusual source IP addresses, abnormal traffic patterns, and protocol deviations. By inspecting the headers, I identified signs of malicious activity or misconfigurations and mitigated vulnerabilities in OT environments, thereby contributing to the security of critical infrastructure.Through this experience, I enhanced my technical skills in industrial automation, OT security, and developed expertise in analyzing network traffic to secure and optimize control systems.
