My name is Jalen Walker, and I am a cybersecurity student at Old Dominion University with a strong focus on security operations and threat analysis. My experience includes hands on work as a SOC Analyst Intern, where I investigated phishing emails, analyzed security alerts, and worked with industry tools such as Microsoft Defender, SIEM platforms, and endpoint detection systems.
My professional focus is centered on protecting systems, identifying threats, and responding to security incidents in real time. I approach cybersecurity with a mindset of continuous learning and attention to detail, knowing that threats are constantly evolving and require both technical skill and critical thinking.
My career goal is to begin as a Security Analyst and continue growing into more advanced roles such as threat analyst or security engineer. I am focused on building both technical skills and real world experience so that I can contribute to protecting organizations and improving their security posture.
