Hello, my name is

Michael Gonzalez

Cybersecurity Specialist

About me

I've tinkered with computers since I was a child. Mostly so that I could get my games to run smoothly on my Dad's old laptop, but this led me to finding out what I wanted to do for a living. I specialize in Cybersecurity with a heavy focus on IAM, GRC, and endpoint security, and I have strong IT fundamentals. I spend my time learning directory platforms, keeping access privileges strictly locked down, and making sure regulatory standards are actually followed. I also build custom AI tools to automate the tedious stuff and increase my efficiency!

Core Expertise

Here’s what I’m currently learning in effort to polish my Cybersecurity Skills

Identity & Access Management

RBAC enforcement, directory management (Entra ID, Google Workspace, Active Directory), and GPO configuration.

GRC & Compliance

CIPA/COPPA policy enforcement, SOP authoring, risk mitigation, and audit readiness.

Endpoint Governance

Policy enforcement and device management for iOS and MacOS devices using Jamf Pro and Mosyle.
