Abdul Fakhar

I am an aspiring SOC Analyst passionate about cybersecurity and protecting organizations from digital threats. Skilled in threat detection, incident response, and log analysis, I have experience working with SIEM platforms, Active Directory, and network traffic analysis. Proficient in Python scripting and knowledgeable in TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, and firewalls, I am currently pursuing the SSCP certification to enhance my skills further. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to ensuring the security and integrity of IT systems.

I have hands-on experience with system troubleshooting, network administration, and user support. In my roles, I’ve worked with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, and have managed Active Directory, DNS/DHCP, and VM setups. I have also self-studied cybersecurity tools, threat detection, and incident response, and am working toward an SSCP certification. My background in sales and business operations has strengthened my communication skills and problem-solving abilities.

I hold an Associate Degree in General Studies from Manchester Community College, which laid the foundation for my transition into IT and cybersecurity. I am currently advancing my knowledge through various online courses and certifications, including Cybersecurity Fundamentals from IBM SkillsBuild.
