Background & Expertise

Presales and POC delivery

Discovery workshops, tailored demonstrations, and proof of concept engagements with defined success criteria, so a tool is judged on evidence rather than a datasheet.

Implementation and tuning

Hands-on deployment across PAM, EDR and XDR, SIEM and SOC, and email security, including the configuration work that decides whether a platform actually earns its licence cost.

Penetration testing and VAPT

OSCP-certified manual testing of web applications, networks and cloud environments, reported for both the board and the engineers who have to fix it.

Architecture advisory and tender response

Zero Trust design, stack rationalisation, vendor selection, and RFP or RFI technical responses aligned to UAE and GCC regulatory expectations.

Where I work

Based in Dubai and working across the UAE and the wider GCC, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Engagements regularly touch NESA, the CBUAE cyber requirements for financial institutions, and ADGM and DIFC data protection obligations, so compliance context is part of the technical conversation rather than an afterthought.

Common questions before getting in touch

Mostly enterprise and mid-market environments in banking, government, healthcare, telecom and energy across the UAE and GCC. The common factor is a security decision that carries real budget or regulatory weight, rather than a particular headcount.

Holding certifications across competing platforms, such as Mimecast, Proofpoint and KnowBe4, is what makes an honest comparison possible in the first place, since the strengths and the limitations of each are known first-hand rather than from marketing material.

The problem you are trying to solve, any deadline or compliance driver behind it, and what you have already tried. Product names are useful but secondary.
