JON ENRIGHT

In my role as a Cyber Threat Hunter, I proactively identify and investigate malicious activity across the enterprise environment, combining hypothesis-driven hunts with responsive analysis during active incidents. I lead the integration of threat hunting into the incident response process, ensuring seamless collaboration between the SOC and threat intelligence teams. Leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK; framework, I design and execute hunts based on adversary TTPs, strengthening detection coverage and reducing dwell time. I produce executive-level reports on emerging threats such as high-impact threat actors and widely exploited zero-day vulnerabilities, delivering clear visibility and actionable insights to senior leadership.

As part of easyJet's security team, I played a key role in strengthening the organization’s cyber resilience. I contributed to the identification, containment, eradication, and recovery of a major data breach while also leading multiple high-severity incidents from detection through resolution. My responsibilities extended beyond incident response, where I frequently partnered with threat intelligence and hunting teams to enhance detection capabilities and share knowledge and expertise. I also acted as a security representative for critical business projects, bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders. By translating complex security challenges into practical solutions, I drove projects to completion and delivered measurable improvements to the company’s overall security posture.

In this role, I earned a reputation for delivering outstanding customer service, consistently resolving technical issues with professionalism, efficiency, and a solutions-focused approach. I quickly became a trusted point of contact for high-priority incidents, where my ability to stay calm under pressure and apply innovative problem-solving proved invaluable. Alongside developing expertise in enterprise tools such as SCCM, Active Directory, Azure, Office 365, VMware, and SQL, I also cultivated a strong interest in cybersecurity. By collaborating closely with the information security team on security-related issues, I not only broadened my technical skill set but also established a clear pathway into the cybersecurity field, setting the foundation for my future roles in threat detection and incident response.

At Optikinetics, I started in a 2nd line desktop support role, quickly resolving the majority of the company’s ongoing issues. Following this, I was entrusted with the maintenance and administration of the company’s Office 365 platform and SharePoint. In addition, I gained foundational knowledge in electronics, becoming skilled in soldering, cabling, and fault-finding on circuit boards.

At Wrigglies Exotic Pets, I combined technical creativity with hands-on leadership. I designed and maintained the company’s website, ensuring an engaging and user-friendly online presence to showcase products and services. Alongside my design work, I served as team lead for the retail side of the business, managing staff, coordinating daily operations, and delivering excellent customer service. This dual role strengthened both my technical and leadership skills, while also deepening my ability to communicate effectively with diverse audiences.

I initially joined the university on a one-month temporary contract, which was extended multiple times due to my hard work and dedication. In this role, I provided second-line technical support, assisting university staff across multiple campuses with a range of software and hardware issues.

I completed a 5-month apprenticeship at the Zenos IT Academy in Luton, where I studied for and obtained various vendor qualifications. During this time, I developed essential IT skills, including technical troubleshooting, customer support, and system administration, which have proven valuable in my professional career. The apprenticeship provided a solid foundation in IT best practices and hands-on experience, preparing me for success in the workplace.
