Victor P. Idonor
Cybersecurity Engineer and CompTIA/EC-Council Certified Instructor with 10+ years of technical hands-on experience across penetration testing, security engineering, SIEM deployment, digital forensics, and incident response. Passionate about applying deep technical expertise to protect enterprise environments and close the cybersecurity skills gap across Africa and the UK.
Technically proficient across the full security stack — from vulnerability assessment and web application testing (Burp Suite Pro, OWASP-ZAP, IBM AppScan) to SIEM implementation (Assuria ALM-SIEM), endpoint protection, firewall configuration, network security architecture, and forensic investigation. Experienced working across financial services, telecoms, energy, and government environments.
Holds a strong certification portfolio including CEH, CHFI, CTIA, CND, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, ISO 31000 Lead Risk Manager, and Certified AppSec Practitioner — with OSCP currently in progress. Currently completing an MSc in Information Security & Digital Forensics at the University of East London.
As a CompTIA Certified Instructor and EC-Council CEI, I deliver CEH, CHFI, CTIA, CND, ECSA, and CSCU programmes to professionals across law enforcement, government, and the private sector — and contribute to the EC-Council CEH item writing programme. Featured speaker at 50+ national and international cybersecurity conferences.
Open to Cybersecurity Engineer and Security Engineer opportunities in the UK where I can contribute strong technical skills, a practical security mindset, and a genuine commitment to building secure, resilient systems.
