About

I'm Luke Canfield, a cybersecurity professional with eight years of work experience across government and private sector roles. My professional background experience includes data analytics, cybersecurity, supply-chain and project management. My expertise spans vulnerability management, OSINT, compliance frameworks, and process automation. I specialize in leveraging tools like Tenable, Tanium, eMASS, and PowerShell to safeguard digital environments and drive security compliance. My personal interests revolve around OSINT, digital forensics, data analytics, process automation, drones, and DIY tech.

Throughout my career, I’ve participated in critical initiatives in cybersecurity, such as improving risk management processes, conducting vulnerability assessments, and automating workflows to enhance efficiency. My work has consistently focused on securing network infrastructures, streamlining workflows, and translating complex technical concepts into actionable insights for stakeholders.

This site has been an ongoing project that has undergone several iterations over the years, this is just the most current. L-Sec Hub takes it's name from my first initial, the word "low-sec" which has meaning in cybersecurity, and from where spent most of my time online in another life learning the ins and outs of excel, OSINT, and project management, EvE Online "low-sec" space.

The point of this project is to centralize my online content from various platforms.
