Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAli N is a seasoned security analyst and threat hunter with nearly a decade of hands-on experience and more than two decades of overall information security involvement, blending deep technical DFIR, SOC, and threat-hunting skills with proven leadership as founder of IR-Sec. He pairs advanced academic training—ongoing PhD research in Vulnerability Assessment Management and Patching, an MSc in Computer Science and a BASc in Applied Mathematics—with practical impact across high-stakes environments, from securing Dutch government services and SWIFT to protecting multinational enterprises and legal institutions. Ali is fluent in SIEM/SOAR engineering, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management and threat modeling frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, and he builds pragmatic security tooling (e.g., AD Analyzer) that scales SOC detection and response. Colleagues rely on him to translate attacker thinking into robust defensive playbooks and to lead CSIRT/SOC transformations while maintaining agile project delivery. Notably, he combines OS internals and intelligence-led hunting with a researcher’s rigor—turning CVE insights and benchmarking into measurable risk reduction.
