      I spend most my time working with our customers while trying to put some of my blue team experience to good use.I currently operate with a large focus on networking, but I am moving to a more cyber-oriented role, with the aim of going full red/purple team. During my internship, my primary goal was to certify (PCNSE, NSE4) and build experience.Here's a list of some of the technologies I studied and/or worked with:NIST, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CKOSI ModelNGFWsEDR/MDR/XDRThreat IntelOSINTKali LinuxVunerability Assessment / Pen Testing ToolsNetworking Fundamentals ( Switching, Routing, NAT, TCP/IP, DHCP & DNS, Vlans / Trunking etc. )Wifi Heatmapping and ReportingScripting
