A U.S. law that makes hacking and unauthorized access to computers illegal.

Project: Legal Analysis

WLAN and Mobile Security Plan

I developed a wireless and mobile security plan for a growing company by identifying vulnerabilities, recommending secure BYOD strategies, and aligning controls with NIST and FTC guidelines.

FTC (Federal Trade Commission)

The FTC is a U.S. government agency that protects consumers and promotes fair business practices.

In cybersecurity, the FTC can take action against companies that fail to protect consumer data — especially if their security practices are unfair, deceptive, or negligent, which may violate the FTC Act.

Project: WLAN and Mobile Security Plan

NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework)

Protocols that encrypt data sent over the internet (like when you're on a secure website).

DNS (Domain Name System)

Translates website names (like google.com) into IP addresses that computers understand.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

Automatically gives devices an IP address when they connect to a network.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

Used to move files between computers over a network.

HTTP/S (Hypertext Transfer Protocol / Secure)

The protocol for browsing websites.

• HTTP = basic,

• HTTPS = secure and encrypted.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Microsoft's cloud platform that offers similar services as AWS — for hosting apps, storing data, running virtual machines, and more.

Helpdesk Homelab

I built a hands-on virtual lab with Windows Server and Active Directory to practice real-world IT support tasks like domain management, user setup, and remote administration.

RSAT Tools (Remote Server Administration Tools)

A set of Microsoft tools that let IT admins manage servers, Active Directory, DNS, Group Policy, and more from a Windows computer, without logging directly into the server.

Email & MFA Security Plan

I planned and deployed a simulated cybersecurity solution using Mimecast and Duo MFA to reduce phishing and secure user access in a banking environment, achieving 85-90% threat reduction and full compliance with FFIEC and NIST standards.

Mimecast
