Just moved to Canada and I had to take a few steps back from my career to have a better understanding of the culture, people and process of the Cybersecurity field in Canada. I help on the design of Tower's Incident Response process (playbooks and strategy), performed threat hunting investigations and was in charge of Network Machine learning detections.
Lead a great team of more than 20 Engineers and Analysts! Worked with them in order to enhance current cyberdefense capabilities in more than 15 clients. Also redesigned operations with KPI, processes and proper documentation. Helped the commercial area to developed new deals and services.
