Ilić

I'm an IT security specialist who blends threat intelligence, hands-on engineering, and clear communication to safeguard complex environments. With experience across finance and SaaS, I design layered defenses, leads risk assessments, and turns audits into roadmaps. I builds detection pipelines, automate response with SOAR and EDR, and harden cloud workloads with identity-first controls. As a calm incident commander, I coordinate blue, red, and purple teams, translating findings into fixes that ship. I champion security by design, partnering early with product and data teams to balance protection and velocity. I mentor analysts, draft policies that people actually read, and measures outcomes with metrics that matter. Certifications include CISSP and GIAC; tools range from Splunk and Sentinel to Terraform and Kubernetes. Off hours, I contribute to open source projects and speak at meetups about practical, humane security.
