About Muhammad
As a Technical Security Leader with a decade of experience, I specialize in securing high-scale enterprise environments and cloud-native architectures. Currently serving as Tech Lead Security for a multi-billion euro firm and Founder of an international consultancy, I bridge the gap between risk strategy and infrastructure hardening.
Core Consulting Pillars:
-Technical Assessments: Rigorous audits of your cloud environment; GCP and Azure along with domain and business reputation audits
-Infrastructure Hardening: From Server and network hardenings to Identifying architectural flaws in CI/CD pipelines to ensure "Secure by Design" development.
-Fractional Leadership: Aligning security with business objectives and maturing internal SOC operations.
-Threat Management: Pentesting WebApps to mitigate risks with secure software engineering culture as long mitigation
I offer Overnight Technical Assessments for US and Middle East and EU firms, securing your infrastructure while your team is offline.
