Threat, Vulnerability, Incident, and Emergency ManagementLink

I focus on managing threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, and emergencies by prioritizing risk-based actions and fostering a culture of proactive security. This approach ensures swift, effective responses and continuous improvement in our defenses against evolving threats. For instance, below are my KPI measurements from a recent employer.
