Defining & setting up Information Security Management System for compliance and regulatory objectives is my personal interest. Setting up and sustaining Cyber Risk Resilience Management by employing Enterprise Risk Management and Business Continuity Management thereby improving the security posture of a fictitious company was very intriguing to me during my university projects.

In my previous role as an ERP Consultant & Branch Head at Olivo Technologies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I managed the company’s finances at the branch level, expanded the client base, and formulated strategies to improve overall fiscal discipline and profitability. I have a proven track record of managing a team of professionals engaged in marketing custom-made software products and servicing existing clients with a focus on improving their efficiency, finances, and profitability. I have hands-on experience with the .NET developer platform, C sharp programming language, and SQL domain-specific language.

I have also led requirement collection from offshore clients through a series of online meetings and development of tailor-made software products meeting their needs. In my recent role as a Security Product Team Member at Miba, I was responsible for preparing hardening guidelines for server, network, and client devices. I also gained hands-on experience in scanning these devices using Rapid7 InsightVM and ensuring their compliance with the hardening guidelines.

I was involved in creating tabletop exercises for the IT Department and developing micro-trainings for security awareness using Articulate. During my internship at Fachhochschule St. Pölten, I analyzed the Cyber Resilience Act and broke down the cybersecurity requirement by matching it with the applicable standard and their measures.

I also designed a cyber tabletop exercise for a health organization and prepared preparatory material for building a cyber tabletop exercise.
