Anthony Napoli

Hello! I’m Anthony, a cybersecurity professional and data analyst with 3+ years of experience securing digital assets and optimizing operations through automation. Passionate about staying ahead of security challenges, I specialize in tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and Power Automate to enhance threat detection and incident response.

With a double major in Computer Science and Cybersecurity from St. Bonaventure University, plus certifications like CompTIA Security+, I bring strong expertise in cloud security, GRC, and vulnerability management. Let’s connect—I’m always keen to collaborate with others passionate about cybersecurity and innovation!

I’m a cybersecurity and data analysis professional who thrives at the intersection of threat detection, incident response, and cloud security. In my current role at Central Hudson, I’ve boosted operational efficiency by 30% and achieved 100% data accuracy, thanks to my focus on identifying EDI transaction failures and automating workflows with tools like VBA and Power Automate. Previously, as a Financial Analyst for the Village of Wappingers, I improved audit accuracy by 10% through precise, compliant financial reporting and advanced data visualization with Power BI.

My time at Cognota sharpened my security management skills further—I managed asset inventories, performed vulnerability scans, and led third-party risk assessments to ensure rigorous security standards. Proficient in Microsoft Sentinel, AWS IAM, Python, and Power BI, I hold a CompTIA Security+ certification and am currently pursuing Microsoft’s Security Operations credential. My proactive approach to cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting assets; it’s about driving efficiency and creating secure, streamlined processes that add tangible value.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity from St. Bonaventure University, where I maintained a 3.82 GPA. My recent certifications are both practical and directly applicable: I earned the CompTIA Security+ in April 2024, a testament to my foundational knowledge in network security, threat management, and access control. Currently, I’m advancing my expertise with the Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst certification, expected this November, which deepens my proficiency in security operations, incident response, and SIEM management. These academic and certification experiences have provided me with a robust and hands-on foundation for tackling today’s cybersecurity challenges.
