About Ethan Rupp

As an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst, I am excited to apply my extensive history in financial solutions to the vibrant and demanding field of cybersecurity. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity and actively pursuing the CompTIA Sec+ Certification. With a solid career foundation at LGE as a Financial Solutions Specialist, I have polished my analytical skills, attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of financial systems and data integrity. These abilities are readily transferable to the cybersecurity arena, where protecting information and systems is critical. My interest in cybersecurity arose from a love of technology and an awareness of the growing necessity of digital security in our interconnected world. My initial step was to obtain a Cybersecurity certification, which laid the framework for network security, threat analysis, and risk management. This academic understanding, paired with hands-on projects and practical exercises, has given me a good foundation for tackling real-world cybersecurity concerns. In recent projects, I've concentrated on several areas of cybersecurity. This involves constructing a Splunk-based SIEM system for real-time security monitoring, implementing a secure Azure web app with enhanced security features, leading a team in a Penetration Testing Capture-the-flag scenario, and revealing vulnerabilities in IoT devices. These initiatives highlight my hands-on expertise and talents in cloud security, offensive cybersecurity, real-time monitoring, and IoT security, as well as my dedication to advancing in the cybersecurity sector. My project highlights include the following: Established a secure cloud application for my cyber blog, demonstrating proficiency in cloud tech, security, networking, web development, cryptography, and network security. Utilized various tools like Shodan, Metasploit, and Wireshark to exploit vulnerabilities and seize control of a domain, showcasing expertise in offensive cybersecurity. Created strategic solutions to prevent similar incidents in the future, enhancing overall security posture.
