Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Zakaria
I am a freelance cybersecurity professional, specializing in SOC environments and penetration testing. My goal is simple: detect, analyze, and neutralize threats while helping companies strengthen their security posture.
With a solid background in incident management, log analysis, and threat hunting, I work within internal SOCs or as an MSSP provider to improve detection capabilities and implement effective playbooks. I am accustomed to working with SIEM solutions like Splunk, ELK, and QRadar, and I am comfortable in high-criticality environments.
On the offensive side, I conduct targeted pentests on your web applications, infrastructures, or workstations, in compliance with standards and best practices (OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.). Each mission results in a clear, detailed, and actionable report, with concrete recommendations to fix identified vulnerabilities.
I make it a point of honor to demystify cybersecurity for your technical and business teams. My approach is collaborative, educational, and results-oriented, whether for short-term assignments or longer-term support.
