At ConnectWise he supported and developed content for enterprise security platforms (CW SIEM/Perch, Stratozen/FortiSIEM, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne), troubleshooting integrations and authoring detection rules and reports. Kevin holds multiple industry certifications (Security+, NSE 1–5, CC, AZ-900, SC-900, MS-900) and a B.S. in Cybersecurity from the University of South Florida. He combines practitioner-level incident response and platform configuration experience with a knack for streamlining operational workflows to reduce engineer time on routine tasks.
