Summary
Ryan O'Leary is a Senior Consultant in Cyber Incident Response with eight years of hands-on experience across incident response, threat hunting, malware analysis and automation. He progressed from L1/L2 SOC roles to leading IR engagements at NormCyber and now Deloitte, delivering forensic root-cause analysis, ransomware and BEC remediation, board-level stakeholder communication and mentoring for SOC-to-IR career pathways. A first-class graduate in Cyber Security and Forensic Computing who won his cohort’s best final-year project, he also built practical tooling—Velociraptor use cases, ServiceNow–Qualys scan automation and internal apps—to reduce manual toil and accelerate investigations. He combines technical depth in reverse engineering and artefact collection with a knack for turning repeatable processes into automated capabilities.
