I find the gaps before attackers do.

Senior Cyber Security Consultant at EY. Defensive security, attack surface and cyber M&A, plus the tooling I build for it.

Shadow IT, leaked credentials, alerts nobody closes. I find what others miss and leave fixes the client's own team can run.

Expertise.

Most engagements move between architecture, investigation and hands-on testing. Six disciplines cover the ground.

Defensive security

SIEM and SOC implementation, detection engineering, threat hunting, SOAR, incident response and forensics.

Sentinel / Splunk / CrowdStrike / KQL

Cloud security

Azure, IAM, networking, CIS benchmarks, Kubernetes, Intune and DevSecOps reviews.

Offensive security

Authorised penetration testing of web applications, infrastructure and mobile platforms, plus purple-team and physical-security exercises.

Burp Suite / Nmap / Kali / OWASP

Post-M&A cyber assessment

After a deal closes, I review the whole estate you just acquired: network, assets, cloud and on-premise Active Directory, and scope out the security risks it brings into your environment.

Network / Assets / Cloud / On-prem AD

Cyberfootprinting

External exposure discovery, OSINT, breach intelligence, metadata analysis and the automation behind it.

OT security

Asset discovery, vulnerability assessment and posture reviews in industrial environments.

Work.

Recurring engagement types from four years of client delivery, plus the internal tooling built to support them.

3 engagement types
M&A

Cyber due diligence for acquisitions

Cyber risk assessments run as part of acquisition due diligence, scoped and delivered across multiple regions, feeding findings into the deal timeline alongside the legal and financial workstreams.

ASM

Attack surface monitoring

Internal tooling that continuously maps a client's external footprint: domains, exposed services, certificates and leaked credentials, correlated into a single view of what an outsider can actually see.

SIEM / SOC

Sentinel implementation, end to end

Microsoft Sentinel deployments from architecture through go-live: log source onboarding, analytics rules, SOAR playbooks and handover to the client's own SOC team.

These cards generalise real engagement types. Client names and specifics stay confidential.

Terminal.
