Dr. Danny Bruna's IT and Cybersecurity Project Portfolio 🔐
I am a Doctor of Information Technology specializing in Cybersecurity, with a concentration in applied defense strategies, risk analysis, and adversarial simulation. My work integrates governance, technical security controls, and hands-on offensive/defensive methodologies to analyze and mitigate modern threat landscapes.
Cybersecurity engineering and analysis — penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and network traffic analysis using tools such as Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Wireshark, and Kali Linux
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) — implementation and evaluation of frameworks including NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and Essential Eight
Threat modeling and adversary simulation — leveraging MITRE ATT&CK, attack simulations, and structured wargaming methodologies
IoT security research — secure communication design (TLS/mTLS), attack surface analysis, and simulation of exploits such as replay attacks
AI-driven automation and analytics — development of agent-based systems, data pipelines, and intelligence dashboards for trend and behavioral analysis
Author of Cybersecurity Through Simulation: 5 Wargaming Strategies for Protecting Business Infrastructure, translating academic research into actionable defense strategies for practitioners.
Security is not static. Systems must be continuously tested, modeled, and stressed against adversarial conditions to remain resilient.
- Vulnerability Management Program Implementation
- Programmatic Vulnerability Remediations (PowerShell, BASH, & Shell Commands)
