Background

About Samuel Sorto

I'm a self-starting cybersecurity student with a passion for protecting digital infrastructure and solving complex technical challenges. Currently pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University, I bring a hands-on approach to learning—actively building secure virtual environments and managing simulated enterprise networks using technologies like Windows Server 2019, Active Directory, PowerShell, and VirtualBox. With a solid foundation in IT support, network administration, and system security, I’ve earned certifications including CompTIA Security+, Network+, A+, and the Google IT Support Professional. My experience spans beyond tech, with several years in property and operations management, where I led multi-phase renovation projects, supervised technical teams, and developed strong communication and incident response skills under pressure. Technical Skills & Interests: Network Security | Access Control | SIEM | Firewalls & ACLs | Digital Forensics | Virtualization | Python Scripting | Active Directory | Linux Systems | Incident Response | IT Support | SIEM | Scripting | Windows OS | Hardware Troubleshooting I’m eager to transition into a cybersecurity role where I can combine my technical foundation, leadership experience, and curiosity for threat detection and mitigation to help organizations strengthen their security posture. Let’s connect if you're looking for someone with a strong work ethic, a growth mindset, and a drive to secure the future.
