Hello! I’m Douglas McClure from Tuckerton, New Jersey, with a passion for Cybersecurity. I embarked on my journey after completing my education at Rowan University, where I earned both my bachelor’s degree in Computing and Informatics and my master’s degree in Cybersecurity. Now, with over 2.5 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in security assurance, incident response, and cybersecurity engineering.

I also hold industry-recognized certifications, including the GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) and CompTIA Security+, which further demonstrate my commitment to professional excellence and staying current in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity.

Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to a variety of impactful projects such as:

• Optimized the Airlock application, significantly improving efficiency and reducing clutter.
• Enhanced incident response by actively monitoring alerts from CrowdStrike, Agari, Proofpoint TAP, and OpsGenie.
• Automated multi-tool alert management through Blink, delivering real-time notifications to Microsoft Teams.
• Monitored internal and external network traffic via Zero Networks and Palo Alto Firewalls to identify potential threats.
• Reduced external data exposure through SharePoint cleanup initiatives using Varonis.
• Evaluated and decommissioned outdated security products to improve budget efficiency and security posture.
• Performed safety evaluations on new software to ensure compliance with security standards.
• Expanded the Security Awareness Program, leading to a 30% increase in employee engagement.
• Established ISO27001-aligned controls to strengthen organizational security.
• Led a Ransomware tabletop exercise, promoting proactive strategies within the Information Security team.

When I’m not working, I enjoy snowboarding, traveling, and diving into programming and cybersecurity projects, which I find incredibly enriching both personally and professionally.
