About

I don't wait for a breach to find me. I go looking first. As a Network Security Engineer at Emerging Business Technologies (EBTCO), I sit at the intersection of network infrastructure and threat detection — managing Palo Alto next-gen firewalls, running Splunk SIEM operations, and working SOC T2 escalations where the messy incidents land. What that actually looks like day-to-day: → 451 security incidents triaged and resolved in the last 12 months → Palo Alto NGFW policies governing 67 users / 159 endpoints → Splunk dashboards I built that reduced mean time to detect by 33% → 84 threat hunts conducted, 34 confirmed IOCs removed from environment. My background in Electronics & Communication Engineering gave me something most pure-IT security engineers miss: I understand the hardware layer. That matters when you're tracing lateral movement or debugging a VPN misconfiguration at 2 AM. I'm working towards OSCP / CISSP and building toward a senior SOC or Security Engineering role where I own detection architecture, not just respond to it. If you're building a security team that needs someone who can work the firewall, read the logs, and close the ticket — let's talk. 📩 mohammedumartaqi@gmail.com | Open to: Security Engineer · SOC Lead · Network Security roles
