Defensive & offensive security01 — A little about me

/ Skills, tools & practice

What I do best.

From understanding an attack to strengthening the systems behind it.

Detect. Investigate. Respond.

01. Defensive security

I work with SIEM and endpoint security to improve detection visibility and support threat response.

  • FortiSIEM & FortiEDR integration
  • Threat intelligence & IoC management
  • MITRE ATT&CK & Cyber Kill Chain
  • Suricata, Zeek & MISP

Think like an attacker

02. Offensive security

Reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege escalation—followed by clear, risk-based remediation reporting.

  • Vulnerability assessment & penetration testing
  • Nmap, Nessus & Burp Suite
  • Metasploit & custom scripts
  • OWASP Top 10

Build a stronger foundation

03. Secure infrastructure

I deploy security controls and strengthen networks and endpoints through hardening and patch management.

  • FortiGate firewalls
  • FortiEDR & Trend Micro EDR
  • Ivanti patch management
  • CIS Benchmarks & NIST frameworks

Make the work repeatable

04. Security automation

I use scripting and infrastructure tools alongside my security work.

  • Python & Bash
  • Docker, Ansible & LXC
  • GitHub
  • Java & JavaScript

/ About me

Curious at the core.

Engineer. Problem-solver. Community member.

I'm Osama, a Cyber Security Engineer at OneTec Solutions, based in Ramallah, Palestine. My experience spans defensive and offensive security, penetration testing, and incident response.

At Birzeit University's Cybersecurity Community (CSC-BZU), I served as Technical Team Leader and Vice President, leading red and blue team operations and cybersecurity workshops.

For me, learning also happens outside the lab: through company visits, conversations with practitioners, and working alongside the community.
