Cyber Security Analyst @Ceseonu Legal
AB, CA
Basic Security Monitoring & Log ReviewSupported the review of system and security logs using Windows Event Viewer, Linux logs, and basic open-source tools. Identified unusual activities and escalated findings to senior IT personnel.Vulnerability & Network ScanningPerformed basic vulnerability scans using Nmap, Nikto, and other lightweight tools. Documented open ports, services, and potential weaknesses for further review.Hands-On Ethical Hacking Labs (TryHackMe)Practiced real-world cybersecurity scenarios including exploitation basics, password attacks, privilege escalation, Meterpreter sessions, and network enumeration. Applied learning to strengthen security understanding at the organization.Wireshark Traffic InspectionCaptured and analyzed packets to identify suspicious patterns, failed authentications, and potential misconfigurations.Endpoint & System Hardening.Assisted in improving the security of Windows systems through password policies, user account cleanup, disabling unnecessary services, and applying updates.Firewall & Network Support ExposureProvided basic support reviewing firewall rules, VPN configurations, and network segmentation principles learned from hands-on experience with Fortinet/Cisco environments.Incident Response Support (Entry-Level)Assisted in simple investigations by gathering logs, summarizing findings, and supporting senior staff in identifying the cause of minor security alerts.Documentation & ReportingCreated security notes, checklists, and simple SOPs to help track findings from scans, labs, and system reviews.

ABOUT MAXIMUS CHINAZO IKENGWA.
I’m a security-focused infrastructure professional with experience supporting network and security operations in energy-sector environments where uptime and disciplined change control are critical.My work has included monitoring OT/SCADA-adjacent systems, analyzing firewall traffic, supporting incident investigations within SaskEnergy’s critical infrastructure operations, and helping maintain segmented network architectures in live production environments.I’m drawn to the intersection of infrastructure security and operational reliability; where network design decisions directly affect availability, safety, and risk exposure.To deepen my engineering capability, I’m building and publicly documenting an enterprise-style IT/OT convergence lab modeled on the Purdue framework. This lab simulates segmentation, DMZ integration, controlled trust boundaries, and firewall zoning using EVE-NG and FortiGate multi-VDOM architecture.Certifications: Security+, CySA+, Network+, CCNA, ITIL.My focus is deliberate: reduce blast radius, enforce least privilege, and design infrastructure that remains secure without compromising operational stability.I’m open to opportunities across energy, enterprise infrastructure, and security-focused technology organizations where resilient network design and system reliability are mission-critical.
