I hold several prestigious certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001 Senior Lead Implementer and Auditor, CGEIT, CISA, and CISSP, demonstrating my dedication and expertise in the field.

My publications, including "The Ransomware Handbook" and "Profit-Driven Cybersecurity," reflect my expertise and thought leadership in cybersecurity. Throughout my career, I have held influential roles such as the Founder of a platform for cybersecurity professionals, Senior Information Security Risk Manager at Euroclear, and Endpoint Security Team Lead at Takeda.
