Mahek Murtuza
Endpoint Security Engineer
About
Endpoint security engineer with 2.5+ years securing enterprise IT environments through EDR administration, SIEM-driven threat detection, and disciplined vulnerability and patch management. Skilled across Check Point, Sophos Central, and Trend Micro Vision One for endpoint protection, with hands-on experience correlating security events in IBM QRadar to accelerate detection and response. Currently deployed on the DP World account, where I run vulnerability scans across servers and network infrastructure using Nessus, manage patch cycles through Sapphire, enforce web/DNS filtering via Cisco Secure Access, and lead quarterly access reviews to maintain least-privilege compliance. Proven track record resolving SOC tickets, closing audit findings, and translating security data into clear, risk-prioritized action for stakeholders. Looking to bring this operational rigor to a SOC or endpoint security role with greater ownership.
