Accomplishments
Lead a Cybersecurity audit project under the NIST control framework, made up of Systems Managers and Auditors from Costa Rica, Panama and El Salvador. The design and effectiveness of identification controls, Altamirano Abarca, Arnoldo protection, detection, response to Cybersecurity incidents and recovery controls and incident analysis were reviewed. The analysis of alerts generated by DLP (Data Lost Prevention) detection tools was deepened to the detailed review of the alerts, the deactivation of devices and/or blocking of users if necessary, the analysis of preventive controls and/or or corrective. The observations were classified according to the severity of the risk and recommendations were issued to mitigate the identified risks. In this regard, I cannot provide more detail for ethical reasons and out of respect for confidentiality clauses that oblige me not to reveal confidential information.
