About Tyler Brooks
As a Network Administrator at American Financial Group, my focus is on delivering secure and high-performance network solutions. With 5.5+ years of experience, I specialize in managing and maintaining complex networking infrastructures, including Cisco-based systems, SD-WAN, Checkpoint and FortiGate firewalls, and Ruckus switches and access points. My work involves implementing Zero Trust network access controls, deploying VLANs, vPCs, and OSPF, and ensuring the seamless operation of over 400 network devices across 60+ client environments. My passion lies in leveraging cybersecurity and network security expertise to enhance organizational resilience and protect critical infrastructure. Proficient in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools like IBM QRadar, I contribute to proactive incident response and cyber threat intelligence. With a CCNA certification, I am committed to building robust and secure network environments that align with organizational needs and goals.
