Hi, I'm Charles "Casey" Beane.
Cybersecurity Analyst

Bridging the gap between complex technical infrastructure and the human element to secure systems and analyze logs.

Professional Summary

I am a results-driven technical professional with a proven track record in telecommunications sales and a strong foundation in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity. I am highly adaptable and analytical, combining a business administration background with recent advanced technical training.

Transitioning from a track record of solving complex technical issues at Comcast to a dedicated role in a Security Operations Center (SOC) or IT Security team, I focus heavily on social engineering awareness, root cause analysis, and clear policy communication.
