Background

About Grigor Vasilev

I’m an IT Security Engineer with advanced expertise in cybersecurity architecture, threat detection, incident response, and security automation. My professional background spans enterprise environments where I design, implement, and maintain highly secure and scalable infrastructures, ensuring compliance with modern security standards and frameworks. I specialize in SOAR platforms, Splunk, and McAfee WebGateway, leveraging these tools to drive efficient threat intelligence, log correlation, and automated incident response. My experience includes deploying and hardening firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, and VPN configurations, as well as optimizing endpoint security, content filtering, malware defenses, URL filtering, and anti-phishing solutions to safeguard organizational assets. Highly proficient in cloud platforms such as AzureAD and AWS, I integrate identity and access management controls, enforce zero-trust security models, and deploy automated policies that enhance reliability and scalability. My technical toolkit also includes Linux administration, VMware, SQL databases, and advanced scripting with Python and PowerShell, enabling me to build and maintain automation scripts for security workflows, vulnerability scans, and policy enforcement. I have a proven ability to analyze complex security events, conduct root cause analyses, and implement mitigation strategies that align with best practices and compliance standards. From developing automation pipelines to managing large-scale security configurations, I bring a data-driven and process-oriented approach to every project. I thrive in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where continuous learning and rapid adaptation are key. By combining deep technical knowledge with collaborative problem-solving, I help organizations strengthen their defenses against evolving cyber threats while maintaining operational efficiency.
