Background

About Eldrick Kennedy

As an Identify and Access Management at AP Professionals of WNY, I specialize in securing networks and data with SIEM (Security information and event management), endpoint detection and response, data loss prevention, and authentication. I have over 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, including working as a Cyber Security Analyst for U.S. Senator John Tester and a U.S. Army Veteran. I am also pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology with a focus on Cybersecurity from Strayer University, expected to graduate in May 2025. I am proficient in various frameworks and guidelines, such as PCI compliance, which I applied to encrypt the transmission of cardholder data across an open, public network, and conduct regular updates and patches. I also have experience in documenting and conducting risk assessments, both quantitative and qualitative, to identify and mitigate potential threats. I am passionate about cybersecurity and enjoy communicating complex subjects to different audiences, such as C-suite executives. Additionally, I am a passionate music producer who has worked with a few credible artists.
