Hi, I'm Josh Van Edward Abanico

Junior SOC Analyst | Cyber Defense Specialist

I combine a solid background in Computer Engineering with over 400 hours of hands-on labs in real-world attack and defense scenarios. I analyze, contain, and resolve.

My Journey

I am a cybersecurity professional focused on Blue Teaming and Incident Response. I don't just study theory: I build tools, configure secure architectures, and analyze threats in the field.

My "Superpower"? Resilience. Previous experience in high-pressure logistics management conditioned me to maintain clarity during emergencies, while years of tutoring taught me how to translate complex technical concepts into clear reports accessible to any team.
