About

Hi, I’m Somto, a cybersecurity professional with a knack for problem-solving and a passion for making the digital world a safer place. My journey into cybersecurity has been anything but ordinary, shaped by curiosity, persistence, and a love for unraveling complex challenges. With certifications like CompTIA Security+, Google Cybersecurity, and ISC2, I’ve built a solid foundation in areas like ethical hacking, network security, and incident response. I’ve had the privilege of learning hands-on through internships at Total Energies and CyBlack, where I worked on SOC operations, cloud security, and governance risk and compliance (GRC). Whether it’s analyzing malware, piecing together attack chains, or setting up proactive security controls, I’m always up for a challenge. What sets me apart? I’m not just here to work; I’m here to make an impact. I thrive in environments where I can learn, collaborate, and contribute to a team’s success. I’m driven by results whether it’s securing systems, finding vulnerabilities, or responding to incidents effectively. When I’m not knee-deep in logs or sharpening my skills on platforms like TryHackMe, I enjoy reading Web3 innovations, creating dashboards, or playing FIFA to unwind. If you’re looking for a dedicated cybersecurity professional who’s ready to learn, grow, and make a difference in your organization, let’s connect.
