Cybersecurity
Exceptional cybersecurity leadership safeguards organisational assets through proactive threat anticipation, robust governance, and adaptive resilience. It integrates technical controls, policy frameworks, and cultural awareness to mitigate risks while enabling innovation. By embedding security-by-design, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and leveraging emerging tools, cyber leaders transform potential vulnerabilities into strategic strengths.
Experience
Consistent Penetration Testing Across Integration Projects
Engaged leading cybersecurity vendors to conduct penetration testing on every integration build — including Azure middleware, FireHawk API endpoints, WebMethods, JBoss, and SOA platforms. Validated system hardening, API security, and data-in-transit protection — ensuring zero exploitable vulnerabilities in production environments.
InvoCare – CyberCX Penetration Testing (2024)
Commissioned CyberCX to perform comprehensive testing of the new Azure middleware platform and FireHawk API endpoints. Identified and remediated vulnerabilities, achieving clean pen test results before go-live across 290 locations.
Building and Managing a Cybersecurity Program – LinkedIn Learning (2024)
Completed the Protect Against Cyberattacks module from the Building and Managing a Cybersecurity Program course by Lysa Myers (ESET). Gained practical insights into modern threat landscapes, including ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks. Learned to implement layered defenses, incident response planning, and vulnerability management frameworks.
