Hi, I'm Rhys.

Cyber Security Engineer · Aston Martin F1 Team

I'm a Cyber Security Engineer at Aston Martin F1 Team with a long-standing passion for computing. Outside of my professional role, I enjoy creating software projects, experimenting with new ideas, and continuously expanding my skill set.

What I work on

The areas I focus on

  1. Detection engineering

    Building custom detection rules and dashboards across first- and third-party log sources.

  2. Incident response

    Investigating escalated alerts and designing response procedures that cut time to remediation.

  3. Security observability

    Bringing new log sources into the SIEM and closing visibility gaps, including across identity.

  4. Security automation

    Automating SOC workflows to streamline processes and speed up incident response.

  5. Endpoint security

    Deploying, configuring and maintaining endpoint detection and response across the organisation.

  6. Offensive testing

    Penetration testing internal and external-facing platforms to validate controls and find weaknesses.
