My Approach to Cybersecurity

Seasoned operations leader in the Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) industry with extensive expertise in cybersecurity. I specialise in transforming security operations through strategic leadership, operational excellence, and a deep understanding that effective cybersecurity requires both technological solutions and human-centric approaches.

My philosophy centres on the reality that "firewalls don't click phishing links—people do." This understanding drives my focus on comprehensive security strategies that combine advanced technical capabilities with robust staff training, behavioural security awareness, and continuous threat monitoring.

With a proven track record in building and leading high-performing security operations centres, I bring expertise in incident response, threat detection, identity and access management, and security awareness training. I am passionate about developing teams, implementing scalable security frameworks, and ensuring organisations can effectively defend against evolving cyber threats.
