Upgrading Firewall Infrastructure: Strengthening Network Security
When I stepped into the role, I inherited a firewall infrastructure that had served the organization well for many years. However, as technology evolved, the hardware had reached the end of its lifecycle, and it was time to modernize. By implementing Palo Alto firewalls, we introduced advanced features like application-aware traffic rules, user ID-based policies, and centralized logging. Additionally, we integrated the firewalls with CrowdStrike SIEM to enhance threat detection and response.
Fortifying Endpoint Security
When a ransomware attack hit our organization, it was a wake-up call. It exposed vulnerabilities in our endpoint security and made it clear that we needed a stronger defense. Leading the charge, I deployed CrowdStrike Falcon EDR to transform our cybersecurity posture and ensure we were prepared for the future.
Leading Ransomware Recovery
It started like any other day—until it wasn’t. A ransomware attack had infiltrated our systems, encrypting critical data and halting operations. As the lead infrastructure engineer, I knew this was my moment to step up. This is the story of how we recovered, rebuilt, and emerged stronger.
