I'm Jacob, an IT and Cybersecurity Analyst

 

Hi, I’m Jacob Salmonsen, an experienced Information Technology and Cybersecurity professional with a strong background in enterprise security. My expertise spans intrusion detection and response, mobile threat defense, endpoint security with XDR/EDR, network access administration, and CIS benchmarking. I take pride in delivering innovative solutions to safeguard systems and optimize security frameworks.

 

Living in Montana is an experience like no other, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The wide-open spaces and stunning landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for some of my favorite activities—hunting and fishing. Whether it's trekking through the woods on a crisp autumn morning or casting a line into one of Montana's pristine rivers, I cherish every moment in nature. I also love spending time with my family, whether we're cheering on our favorite sports teams, enjoying backyard barbecues, or just soaking in the beauty of the outdoors together.
