About

Prosper Awuni

Senior Cyber Security Engineer

Professional Profile

I am a Senior Cyber Security Engineer with over five years of hands-on experience implementing and managing security infrastructure across complex hybrid enterprise environments. I have deep expertise in CrowdStrike Falcon (Endpoint Detection and Response) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms.

I have a strong track record managing the full breadth of a security estate including endpoint protection, web and email security gateways, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), Mobile Device Management (MDM), vulnerability management and incident response.

I hold the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach to maintaining robust security across broad and varied technology estates.

Background & Values

My journey into cybersecurity began with a foundation in engineering, holding an M.Sc. in Environmental and Resource Engineering and a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering. This analytical background informs my structured, methodical approach to security challenges.

I believe in security as an enabler, not a blocker. My goal is always to protect the organisation while maintaining productivity and trust. I'm a strong communicator, comfortable translating complex technical threats into clear business risk for executive audiences, and equally comfortable in the weeds of a SIEM query or incident investigation.

Beyond Security

Outside of work, I am the founder of 2nd Chance, a UK-registered charity providing networking, mentoring and support for young people in the UK and South Sudan, helping them unlock their potential and build brighter futures.
