Background

About Harrison Matthews

I'm a recent magna cum laude graduate in Cybersecurity from the University of Texas at San Antonio and currently interning as a Cyber Operator at Arete, where I support real-world threat response and security operations. This fall, I’ll begin my Master’s in Information Security Operations at Champlain College to deepen my expertise in blue team tactics, threat analysis, and digital forensics. I’ve earned multiple industry-recognized certifications, including CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+, and the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, and have hands-on experience with packet analysis, incident response workflows, and security monitoring. Beyond academics, I've built my own home labs, explored platforms like Hack The Box, and continually sharpen my skills around threat detection, SIEM tuning, and professional blue team tools. I’m actively seeking opportunities in security operations, incident response, or threat analysis where I can apply my technical foundation, collaborate with others, and help defend against modern cyber threats.
