Experience

1. Senior Cybersecurity Engineer -benchmarks

   Center for Internet Security

   Jul 2019 — Present

   I design secure configuration benchmarks for network equipment, ensuring they remain resilient against evolving threats. Through in-depth research on industry trends and best practices, I continuously refine these benchmarks to enhance cybersecurity defenses.CIS benchmarks are widely regarded as industry standards, and I collaborate with global experts to develop well-rounded guidance that particularly supports underserved cybersecurity communities.By working closely with stakeholders, I help maintain smooth business operations while minimizing cyber risks. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that extends beyond a single department—it requires a collective organizational effort. By promoting an inclusive approach, security best practices become more effective and easier to implement.
