About Daniel Christian

I am an IT security specialist with a practical background from training, studies, and professional experience. My journey began with an apprenticeship as an IT specialist for system integration combined with a dual study program in business informatics. During this time, I gained extensive experience with software distribution (SCCM, Intune), virtualization environments, network infrastructures, and Network Access Control (NAC) in medium-sized business customer projects. IT security with Microsoft Defender was also an integral part of my work.

Today, I work as a Cyber Defense Analyst, responsible for the protection and further development of complex IT environments. The main infrastructure is based on AWS, supplemented by Azure for identity and Microsoft services. I have placed a special focus on the automation of security processes. With Palo Alto XSOAR, AWS Lambda, ServiceNow, and CrowdStrike Falcon, I develop playbooks and scripts that analyze and process security incidents faster. For this, I specifically use Python and PowerShell to make routine tasks more efficient and reliable.

In addition to technical work, I take on tasks in incident response, analyze malware and suspicious emails, initiate immediate measures, and manage vulnerability and escalation management. I also coordinate external service providers and ensure close alignment between internal teams and partners.

My profile thus combines practical security expertise, cloud know-how, and automation experience. I work solution-oriented, communicate clearly, and emphasize that security measures are not only effective but also applicable in everyday practice.

    I currently work as a Cyber Defense Analyst with a focus on cloud security, automation, and incident response. Our infrastructure is primarily based on AWS, supplemented by Azure for identity, Intune, and other Microsoft services.

    A significant part of my work involves automating security-related processes. For this, I use tools such as Palo Alto XSOAR, AWS Lambda, ServiceNow, and CrowdStrike Falcon. By developing playbooks and scripts in Python and PowerShell, I automate recurring tasks like log analysis, alert correlation, or processing vulnerability reports.

    In incident response, I take on the role of the first responder. This includes analyzing suspicious files, emails, and malware, as well as initiating and coordinating countermeasures. Through this work, threats are detected and isolated more quickly.

    Furthermore, I am involved in vulnerability management. This involves identifying, prioritizing, and tracking security vulnerabilities to systematically and sustainably reduce risks. Within escalation management, I coordinate security-critical incidents, initiate measures, and ensure alignment with relevant stakeholders.

    In addition to operational tasks, managing external service providers is also part of my responsibilities. I handle coordination, review results, and manage interfaces between internal teams and partners.

    Thus, my current role covers the entire spectrum of a Cyber Defense Analyst – from technical analysis and automation to processing and coordinating security-relevant incidents.

    Wermelskirchen, Germany
    During my time as a dual student of Business Informatics and simultaneously an apprentice IT specialist for system integration, I worked on various projects in the areas of infrastructure, networks, and IT security.

    A key focus was on software distribution with SCCM and Microsoft Intune. I packaged applications, planned rollouts, and set up automated distribution processes. The goal was to ensure stable and scalable software supply in the corporate environment.

    Additionally, I worked as a consultant for medium-sized businesses, implementing customer projects in the areas of virtualization and network infrastructure. This included setting up and operating virtual server environments, as well as planning and managing networks in heterogeneous IT landscapes.

    In network security, I was responsible for implementing and maintaining Network Access Control (NAC) systems. These solutions were used to control access to corporate networks and reliably exclude unauthorized devices.

    IT security was also an integral part of my activities. Here, I worked with Microsoft Defender, among other tools, to secure endpoints, detect threats, and strengthen protection mechanisms.

    Overall, the combination of apprenticeship and studies allowed me to combine practical project experience with sound theoretical knowledge. I was able to quickly build deep technical expertise in system integration, virtualization, networks, and IT security, and apply it directly in customer projects.
