Incident & DR Leadership: Expert in end-to-end Incident Management and Disaster Recovery (DR) orchestration for global business continuity.

CISM-Certified Strategy: I translate technical risks into business insights, aligning security roadmaps with ROI and international regulations.

Technical Expertise:

Frameworks: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and Global Regulatory Standards.

Operations: Incident Response (IR), Threat & Vulnerability Management.

Network & Cloud: Zero Trust (Zscaler), Global Governance, and Cloud Security.

Tech Stack: CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Splunk, MS Sentinel, and MFA Deployment.
