About Brahim

Confirmed Cybersecurity Engineer and IT Manager, I have over 10 years of experience in strategic information systems management, cybersecurity, infrastructure, digital transformation, and technical team leadership.
Currently Deputy IT Manager & CISO at LOGIAL-COOP, I am involved in the entire IT scope within a context of high demands for security and service continuity. I have notably led:

the implementation of an open-source SOC,
the redesign of IT security (MFA, network segmentation, firewall hardening, XDR, patch management),
the 3-2-1 backup strategy and DRP,
the Exchange Online migration,
the modernization of business processes through document digitalization,
as well as the management of a €1.6 million budget and the leadership of a multidisciplinary team.

Previously, as Director of Information Systems at POLYMONT IT SERVICES, I led the harmonization of a multi-site/multi-MPLS IS, carried out VMware virtualization projects, strengthened IT governance, and managed strategic investments.
My experience also covers demanding environments such as NATIXIS, where I was responsible for the advanced administration of monitoring platforms (Zabbix, Truesight, Newtest), operations automation (Python, Perl, Shell, Jenkins), and the operational maintenance of critical architectures.
With solid expertise in cybersecurity, Azure cloud, hybrid infrastructures, monitoring, and automation, I support organizations in securing, modernizing, and improving the performance of their information systems.
Committed, rigorous, and results-oriented, I excel in environments requiring strategic vision, foresight, and technical leadership.
