worked as a freelance cybersecurity specialist on Fiverr, helping individuals and small businesses improve their digital security. My main responsibility was to identify potential security risks in websites, systems, and online platforms and provide practical solutions to protect them from cyber threats. During my work on Fiverr, I performed basic vulnerability assessments, security audits, and website security checks. I helped clients secure their WordPress websites by identifying outdated plugins, weak passwords, and misconfigured settings that could expose their systems to attacks. I also provided recommendations such as enabling two-factor authentication, improving password policies, and installing security monitoring tools. Many of my clients were small business owners who had limited knowledge of cybersecurity. Because of this, part of my role involved explaining technical security issues in simple terms and guiding them step-by-step on how to implement safer practices.
