Background

About Augustine Yeboah-Afari

Empowering businesses through fortified digital defenses is my passion. Armed with an MSc in Information Security from Royal Holloway University of London, I possess a wealth of expertise in Security Management, Cryptography, Network Security, Computer Security (Operating Systems), Security Testing and Digital Forensics, complemented by hands-on experience in conducting pivotal Security Penetration Testing on IoT devices. During my academic tenure, I spearheaded a comprehensive project, meticulously identifying vulnerabilities in IoT devices and proposing robust strategies to fortify their security. Leveraging threat modeling techniques, I prioritised measures to mitigate potential risks, safeguarding against emerging cyber threats. Eagerly delving deeper into the cyber realm, I'm currently immersed in an ongoing SOC Analyst Learning Path, augmenting my skills in Security Operations Center procedures and sharpening proficiency with cutting-edge tools like SIEM, SOAR, and EDR solutions for rapid threat detection and precise incident response. My technical repertoire extends far and wide, encompassing Information Security Frameworks (ISO 2700, 27001, 27002), Python programming, Threat Analysis, Cloud Technologies, Vulnerability Assessments, and more. Moreover, my professional journey kickstarted at the Ministry of Energy in Ghana, where I adeptly resolved IT issues across multiple operating systems, achieving a notable 95% resolution rate. My tenure as an Engineering Intern at Ghana Civil Aviation Authority equipped me with valuable insights into equipment assembly and maintenance support, significantly reducing downtime by 15%. A fervent advocate for continual growth, I am on a perpetual quest to deepen my cybersecurity knowledge and practical skills. I am open to vibrant discussions on cybersecurity trends, potential collaborations, or new career opportunities.
