Aspiring Cybersecurity Professional

Cybersecurity Enthusiast

Welcome to my cybersecurity portfolio! I am Augustine Fosu Manu, an aspiring cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience gained through intensive bootcamp training and home lab projects. Passionate about protecting digital assets and understanding cyber threats, I am committed to continuously expanding my knowledge in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. My expertise includes cybersecurity analysis, where I identify and assess security threats to develop strong defensive strategies, as well as penetration testing and ethical hacking to simulate real-world attacks and enhance security measures. I have also developed skills in risk management and compliance by learning and applying industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Additionally, I focus on incident response and forensics to detect, analyze, and respond to security breaches effectively. My practical knowledge extends to network security, where I have gained experience securing on-premises environments through hands-on home lab projects.
