Summary
Anthony Mendonca is a cybersecurity engineer with nine years of technical experience and over four years focused on threat detection, cyber defense, and application security automation. He has built and productionized 30+ KQL detection rules in Microsoft Sentinel, authored 13 prioritized use cases tied to MITRE ATT&CK, and automated deployments via Terraform and GitHub Actions to reduce false positives at scale. Anthony pairs hands-on engineering—such as a custom SAST pipeline that auto-triaged 80%+ of findings—with strategic work including CISO-facing detection roadmaps and cyber fusion centre redesigns that improved operational posture. He contributes to open-source adversary emulation efforts (Stratus Red Team) and is actively developing benign malware simulation tooling while studying for GPEN, showing a rare blend of detection engineering, application security, and adversary-focused R&D. Based in London, he brings a pragmatic, risk-prioritized approach to strengthening enterprise security and developer efficiency.
