Jaskaran Rattu

Hello, my name is Jaskaran Rattu. I am a dedicated and driven professional with a strong background in cybersecurity and information systems security. I have a passion for safeguarding organizations from cyber threats and ensuring the highest level of information security.

During my co-op experience as a Cyber Security Analyst at TMX Group, I gained valuable hands-on experience in supporting the Security Operations Centre and optimizing daily operations for SOC and Engineering teams. By implementing comprehensive security policies and procedures, I successfully reduced successful cyber attacks by 40% and vulnerabilities in the organization by 33%.

I am a proactive problem-solver and have a knack for researching vulnerabilities and attacks to suggest effective mitigations. Additionally, I revamped information security procedures, architectures, and technical requirement documents, improving compliance by 30% and reducing the risk of data breaches by 20%.

Prior to that, I worked as a Customer Service Representative at SRAATHREE PVT LTD., where I honed my communication and interpersonal skills while efficiently managing customer inquiries and delivering satisfactory solutions.

Education-wise, I pursued Cyber Security Operations at York University, Information Systems Security at Georgian College, and earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering with a focus on Information Technology from Panjab University.

I have actively pursued various certifications, including (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity, Cybersecurity operations and Technology Solutions from Udemy, and web development courses in Angular, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have undertaken notable projects, such as formulating a cybersecurity program for York University compliant with NIST standards and conducting a successful phishing campaign at TMX Group to enhance cyber security awareness and reduce reported incidents.

My expertise spans various areas of cybersecurity, including risk management, network security, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and threat knowledge. I am well-versed in using tools like SIEM, Metasploit, EDR, IDS & IPS, and have experience in cloud-based cybersecurity architecture.

On a personal note, I am fluent in English and my native languages, Punjabi and Hindi, which enables effective communication with diverse teams and clients.
