Top SchoolDenis Mikhailov is a cybersecurity engineer with 9 years of hands-on experience building and hardening enterprise networks, specializing in Fortinet ecosystems (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiEDR) and ISO/IEC 27001-aligned ISMS. He combines deep packet-level troubleshooting with Wireshark, extensive virtualization and backup expertise (VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Veeam), and practical skills in VPNs, BGP, ZTNA and MFA to deliver resilient remote access and HA solutions. Certified in FortiManager and FortiOS, Denis has led risk-based security assessments and incident investigations while operationalizing Fortinet telemetry across distributed sites. Beyond networking, he contributes to C++ open-source projects—adding compatibility and feature improvements to well-regarded libraries like Boost.PFR and sqlite_orm—illustrating a low-level systems mindset that complements his security work. Open to relocation and visa sponsorship for Canada or Europe, he seeks roles where deep networking expertise and secure-by-design thinking accelerate operational security.
