ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria)IT Security Officer
Nov. 2013 - Oct. 2014SofiaI implemented several exploitation mitigation strategies, which decreased the number of incidents by more than 92%.
• The results of the work I did were evident when during a FireEye POC their sales engineers were very surprised to see zero bot communications in our network – the only bank in Bulgaria they saw with such a clean network. This was also observed by ShadowServer monitoring. • I managed a number of projects during my time at the bank, including the EMET Implementation Project which successfully stopped the exploitation of client-side software which had previously been attacking the bank.
• I worked with the Board of Directors to get all the changes approved and then had them cascaded to the staff across the company, meaning that everyone knew about the new IT security systems that were in place.
• Successfully started and completed the SIEM and Web Filter implementation projects.
