Technical overview
How I approach cybersecurity for web products
Cybersecurity work combines application findings with infrastructure: web app audits and penetration testing prioritized by exploitability, WAF and DDoS protection, malware cleanup, firewall hardening and incident playbooks teams can follow under pressure.
Backups and restore drills are security controls - ransomware recovery is a tested restore. Encryption in transit and at rest, credential exposure checks and leak monitoring reduce surprise blast radius.
I pair application fixes with edge rules and patched hosts. Findings become a short remediation backlog with severity, not a long report that sits unread. When formal red-team work is required, I remediate in the stack and verify closures.
Common cybersecurity tasks I help with
- How to prioritize pentest findings by exploitability
- How to configure a WAF without blocking legitimate traffic
- How to mitigate a DDoS spike on a public landing page
- How to clean malware and harden a compromised host
- How to run credential exposure checks for leaked passwords
- How to write an incident response playbook for on-call staff
- How to verify backups by performing a restore drill
- How to harden Linux and Nginx for a public web app
- How to enable encryption at rest for sensitive databases
- How to close remediation items and retest after an audit
