About CyberPatriot
Through CyberAegis and the CyberPatriot competition, I've spent a lot of time hardening Windows systems and services. A big part of the competition for me is learning how to both fix damage that's already been done and prevent future problems from happening in the first place.
My Focus Areas
Over the last few seasons I've worked across many different parts of Windows security, always thinking in terms of threat remediation and prevention. That mindset has helped my teams perform consistently well in competition.
- Windows system hardening and security configuration
- Active Directory management and security
- Service hardening and access control
- PowerShell scripting for security automation
- Threat remediation and vulnerability patching
Giving Back
More recently, I've also started putting together content to help middle school students get into cybersecurity and understand the basics of Windows hardening. It's rewarding to help the next generation of competitors get started in the field.
