Cybersecurity Help That Actually Ships
If the howtos here have been useful, I do the same work as paid engagements for SMBs and MSPs that need senior-level cybersecurity and IT expertise without a full-time hire.
What I Help With
SentinelOne & EDR Deployment
End-to-end rollout of SentinelOne Singularity, including agent deployment, policy tuning, STAR custom rules, and Deep Visibility hunt workflows. Based on 30+ published howtos.
- Pilot → production rollouts
- Policy + exclusion tuning
- STAR custom rule authoring
- Threat hunt playbooks
Security Audits & Hardening
Hands-on review of your endpoint, identity, and network posture. Practical, prioritized findings — not a 400-page PDF.
- Microsoft 365 / Entra hardening
- Fortinet & firewall review
- Backup + DR validation
- Patch + vulnerability hygiene
Advisory & Training
Office hours for your IT team, or a structured training engagement on EDR/SIEM operations. Useful if you have the tools but not the muscle memory.
- Monthly advisory retainer
- Workshop-style training
- On-call escalation channel
- Architecture review sessions
Engagement Models
Pick the cadence that matches the work. All tiers start with a free 30-minute scoping call so we can confirm fit before any commitment.

Pay-as-you-go for short engagements, second opinions, or one-off troubleshooting.

Project
Most CommonSentinelOne rollouts, audits, and hardening engagements with defined deliverables.
- Scoping call + written SoW

Not a fit? I'll say so and try to point you at someone who is. The site stays useful either way.
