Challenge

Systems and servers needed continuous validation, prioritization, and hardening aligned with operational reality.

Approach

Used OpenVAS and Nmap to identify exposure and prioritize remediation by business impact.
Applied CIS benchmark controls to server baselines and enforced patch management cycles.
Tracked remediation status and documented post-hardening baselines.

Outcomes

Reduced high-severity misconfigurations.
Improved patch discipline and baseline consistency.
More visible attack surface management.

Portfolio note

Each case study should show the exact value you created. Use charts, screenshots, diagrams, and logs where they add proof. Keep the design clean so the evidence remains the focus.
