Ahmet Furkan Koç

Cybersecurity Analyst

I secure cloud environments, investigate risk, and build automation that helps security teams move from findings to decisions.

My background spans cloud posture management, product security, endpoint defense, and AI-assisted security workflows.

Security became the place where everything connected.

I started in computer science without knowing whether I would land in application security, cloud, a SOC, or governance.

The answer became cloud security because it sits at the intersection of infrastructure, identity, automation, and detection.
