About Vedaste M.
As a SOC Lead at the State of Iowa, I coached and trained a team of 9 analysts and coordinate security monitoring and response for 99 counties across the state. I have played a vital role in transitioning to 24/7 operations, increasing SOC services, and optimizing incident response. I also analyze network traffic, simulate attacks, evaluate cyber threat intelligence, and manage risk, vulnerability, identity, access, and endpoint security.With over 10 years of progressive professional experience in information systems and cybersecurity, I have supported vast customer and user populations, IT solutions, and security programs. I hold a Master of Science in Cybersecurity from Saint Mary\'s University of Minnesota, and multiple CompTIA certifications. I am passionate about strengthening security posture through people, process, and technology development, collaborating organization-wide to build a culture of awareness and compliance.
