Experience
- Cloudflare - Web Application Firewall Transformation
I completed a senior project in authentication security that cut the security risk of a working website by 70%, added protection for additional DDoS protection, and activated and added custom rules to prevent known attacks.
- Security Analytic and Automation Platform
I implemented Splunk Enterprise Security and PaloAlto XOAR solutions to Dominos Russia and Dominos Turkey. It covers seven fabrics, six branch offices, more than 800 stores, and over 50 million customers.
