“To establish robust security postures and transform complex logs into actionable intelligence.”

Graduated with a Bachelor of Computer and Information Science from the University of Michigan, specializing in Network Security and Database Management. My expertise includes Security Operations (SOC), digital forensics, incident response, and secure software development. I have hands-on experience with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Volatility, Autopsy, and FTK Imager for threat detection, log analysis, and forensic investigations. I also develop secure cloud-based applications using ASP.NET Core, Blazor, React, PHP, and MySQL, while working with Microsoft Azure, AWS, Azure SQL, MySQL, and MongoDB to build and secure modern infrastructure. Passionate about continuous learning, I am committed to helping organizations strengthen their security posture through proactive defense, secure system design, and data-driven threat analysis.

Cybersecurity in Transportation Systems: A User Perspective

Moderator: Anys Bacha, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Computer and Information Science , University of Michigan

As the transportation sector becomes increasingly integrated with intelligent technologies, the threat of cyberattacks grows significantly. This paper examines user attitudes and perceptions towards Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), focusing on cybersecurity risks. We surveyed 104 participants to understand their views on how technology has impacted transportation and their awareness of related vulnerabilities. Findings indicate a gap between awareness and proactive measures, with most participants unaware of specific cyber threats yet concerned about data security. We also explore how an attack might affect users and suggest strategies to improve confidence in transportation system security.

A Holistic Approach to Cyber Resilience: Integrating Role-Based Access Control, Real-Time SOC Monitoring, and Digital Forensic Methodologies.

Moderator: Dr Hany Othman, Associate Professor, Computer and Information Science, University of Michigan

Dedicated to protecting digital assets through continuous monitoring, incident response, and forensic investigation. With a background in Computer Science and hands-on experience in Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Volatility, I transform complex security logs into actionable intelligence. I focus on the "Build, Protect, and Investigate" lifecycle to stay ahead of modern threats.
