Bio

I am a recent graduate of Lighthouse Labs, specializing in Cyber Security, with a strong background in web development. My journey into tech began with web development, where I gained expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React and Node.js, creating responsive and user-friendly applications. Transitioning into Cyber Security, I am now focused on protecting digital environments through skills in penetration testing and network security. My goal is to combine my web development experience with my growing cyber security knowledge to develop secure, efficient digital solutions and make a meaningful impact in the tech industry.

Vulnerability Assessment for Cloud-Based AI Platform - atlantiq AI

The main objective of this project is to conduct a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of atlantiq AI's cloud-based infrastructure and AI systems. Learners will be tasked with identifying potential security weaknesses in our AWS-hosted services, including EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases, and Lambda functions. They will also assess the security of our AI model deployment pipeline and data processing systems. The expected outcomes include: 1. A detailed vulnerability assessment report highlighting critical, high, medium, and low-risk vulnerabilities in our cloud infrastructure and AI systems. 2. Specific recommendations for enhancing our security posture, with a focus on protecting sensitive AI models and user data. 3. A security architecture overview that aligns with our unique needs as an AI-powered SaaS startup, including recommendations for secure AI model deployment and data handling practices. 4. Proposed implementation strategies for recommended security measures, considering our resource constraints as a startup.
