About Me
My mission is to align security controls with business risk
I am Daniel LODI, a proactive Security Analyst and aspiring Cybersecurity Consultant. My goal is to move beyond technical detection to strategic Risk Management. I specialize in translating technical vulnerabilities into business impact, ensuring that every implemented security control directly addresses the most critical organizational risks and is aligned with global governance standards like NIST CSF and ISO 27001.
My professional philosophy
Security is not a product; it’s a process defined by robust controls and continuous risk assessment. My background in Software Engineering and project management provides a unique perspective, allowing me to not only secure systems but understand how they are built—a critical advantage in Vulnerability Assessment and defense. My philosophy is rooted in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), specifically focusing on the Detect, Respond, and Recover functions to provide structured, repeatable, and measurable security outcomes.
