Security Engineer

Summary

With a robust career spanning [number of years] years in IT, I've honed my expertise in cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. Beginning as an Information Security Officer at [Company Name], I ensured seamless operations within the financial sector, collaborating across teams to implement and maintain robust security measures. Managing network infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, and routers from Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, and Peplink, was a core responsibility. I excelled in monitoring and resolving system alerts using tools like Nagios and Alienvault, maintaining uninterrupted service delivery. Adhering to regulatory standards like PCI-DSS and PCI-3DS, I conducted vulnerability scanning, patching, and disaster recovery activities.

Transitioning to my current role as a Security Engineer at Techdirect PTE LTD in Singapore, I specialize in deploying Cloudflare products, WAF, SSL/TLS, CDN, and caching solutions. With expertise in DNS management, VM setup, and Active Directory administration, I customize Cloudflare dashboards to meet client needs. I provide maintenance support, including Cisco DUO migration and Palo Alto Firewall upgrades, ensuring robust security infrastructure.
