Abel D.

Threat Detection & Response Engineer @Euroclear

Brussels, BE

With extensive experience in Security Operations, Threat Detection & Response, and Incident Management, I have successfully led and contributed to multiple security projects in this large-scale and highly-regulated environment, combining technical expertise with leadership, coaching, and project management skills.In my role as a SOC Engineer, I managed security platforms, implemented and maintained SIEM and SOAR solutions, and guided security analysts through coaching and upskilling initiatives, mentoring more than five colleagues. I played a key role in security product integration, ensuring seamless onboarding and change management, while also supporting outsourcing and insourcing transitions for service providers.Later, as a Threat Detection & Response Engineer, I provided technical leadership for the team, contributing to major software migrations within a Cyber Defence Centre, onboarding security sensors and tools, and leveraging Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) to enhance threat detection capabilities. I developed over 300 detection rules across multiple SIEM platforms, and tuned many more, while also playing a critical role in designing and implementing automated response actions to ensure timely threat mitigation.Beyond technical contributions, I have led technical discussions, delivered presentations, and facilitated knowledge-sharing within cross-functional teams. I thrive in Agile and CI/CD environments, ensuring security processes align with fast-paced development cycles while maintaining operational resilience.My ability to self-organize, manage projects, and drive initiatives has been key to improving security operations and detection capabilities at scale.My expertise spans security investigations, incident response, network and endpoint security, automation, forensics, and project management, with a strong focus on developing scalable and flexible detection solutions to protect critical IT ecosystems.
