UMGC graduate in Software Development & Security. Passionate about Zero Trust Architecture, vulnerability research, and building resilient systems that are secure by design.
CVE-2026-22769 (CVSS 10.0) — China-linked UNC6201 exploited a hard-coded Tomcat admin account in Dell RecoverPoint to deploy root-level web shells and GRIMBOLT malware across enterprise backup infrastructure.
The first actively exploited Chrome zero-day of 2026 — a use-after-free in CSSFontFeatureValuesMap allows any attacker to execute code in Chrome's renderer sandbox by visiting a malicious webpage.
Google TAG discovered CVE-2026-20700, a memory corruption flaw in Apple's dynamic linker chained with two WebKit zero-days, deployed in targeted espionage attacks against high-risk individuals across iOS, macOS, and watchOS.
Designing and implementing Zero Trust frameworks across all seven OSI layers, eliminating implicit trust and enforcing continuous verification.
In-depth CVE analysis, root cause investigation, and proof-of-concept evaluation to help organizations understand and prioritize risk.
Designing segmented network topologies that contain lateral movement, isolate critical assets, and minimize blast radius of breaches.
Applying secure coding principles, input validation, and threat modeling to build applications that resist the OWASP Top 10 and beyond.
Rapid triage and forensic analysis of active intrusions, including web shell detection, lateral movement tracing, and containment.
Tracking threat actor TTPs, monitoring CVE feeds, and translating raw intelligence into actionable defensive measures.
The OSI model provides a fundamental blueprint for network communication. For security engineers, implementing Zero Trust means eliminating any assumption of inherent trust — every request, packet, and session must be continuously verified.
