Federico Bustos
Systems Engineer | SOC Analyst | Cybersecurity Specialist
As a Systems Engineer with a strong cybersecurity foundation, I bring hands-on experience in event monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management across diverse infrastructures. My career has focused on protecting critical assets through proactive threat detection and strategic security implementations.
During my tenure at COINSA SAS, I successfully transitioned from SOC Analyst Level 1 to Level 2, leading initiatives that enhanced threat detection accuracy and reduced incident response times by up to 30%. I have developed expertise working with Fortinet technologies (FortiSIEM, FortiAnalyzer, FortiGate) and have implemented security frameworks for clients in highly sensitive sectors.
I am passionate about leveraging open-source OSINT tools and free security resources to conduct comprehensive vulnerability research and email analysis. My approach combines technical mastery with continuous learning, staying ahead of emerging threats and security best practices.
