About Houcem
I build resilient, cloud-native security architectures for highly regulated industries and train enterprise teams to maintain them. Bridging the gap between C-level risk strategy and deep-dive engineering, I ensure security accelerates, rather than hinders, digital transformation.
WHAT I DO:
1. Cloud & Architecture: Secure Multi-Cloud corporate architectures, Kubernetes (CKA) hardening, Service Mesh (Consul), and Zero Trust IAM implementations.
2. DevSecOps: "Shift-Left" pipelines, IaC scanning, and enterprise secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, HSM/BYOK).
3. Compliance & GRC: Translating frameworks (DORA, NIS2, SOC 2, LPM) into automated controls. Expert in SaaS vendor assessments.
4. Corporate Training: Delivered 250+ training days to 1,000+ professionals (Airbus, Ericsson, ING Bank) on Cloud Security, 5G Security, and CISSP/CCSP prep.
