About Christopher Omage

Professionally, I have experience in cloud engineering, cybersecurity, system administration, and vulnerability management. I possess a defined skillset in engineering high-yielding functional solutions, conducting research to optimize procedures, and professionally resolving hardware & software technicalities.In my present role, I oversee comprehensive medical device asset and cybersecurity management platform, addressing findings and implementing mitigating steps. Proficient in computers, operating systems, security, and networking, I interpret technical documentation, generate client reports, and perform GAP analysis on medical devices. Skilled in creating and managing security work orders in Crothall\'s CMMS, I ensure timely completion within defined KPIs. Engaging with OEMs, I research approved patches and firmware upgrades, maintaining a database of relevant information. Collaborating with clients, I coordinate mitigating steps for medical devices discovered through passive asset discovery. My responsibilities include maintaining operational security metrics, assisting in threat intelligence gathering, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for medical devices.In my previous role as a Cyber Security Professional at The Intermed Group, I spearheaded the cyber-profiling of medical devices, configuring MAC addresses, IP addresses, subnet masks, hostnames, network connection types, operating systems, and application software versions. Furthermore, I identified the risk points and vulnerabilities of each device’s housing electronic Patient Health Information (PHI) by performing vulnerability scans using Nessus and substantiated Cisco NGFW firewall rulesI have completed my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Joseph Ayo Babalola UniversityI have extensive knowledge of different tools such as Asimily, CyberArk, Paloalto (Zingbox),Nessus, BlueCat, ServiceNow CMDB, Oracle Virtual box, Microsoft Packages, Visio, Citrix Workspace, and Vulnerability Scanners amongst several others.I am a passionate learner and always work in a high-performance mode. Looking forward to connect with other ambitious professionals!
