When Critical Infrastructure Meets Cyber Reality
The power grid. Water treatment. Manufacturing lines. These aren't just systems—they're the invisible backbone of modern life. I help organizations defend them before attackers exploit the gaps we pretend don't exist.
The Mission
Most cybersecurity professionals never set foot on a plant floor. Most plant engineers never think about cyber threats. I've lived in both worlds.
From the control rooms of Dubai's power and water authority to industrial facilities across the globe, I've seen what happens when security meets operational reality. The textbook approaches fail. The frameworks gather dust. What works is understanding that availability isn't just a priority—it's everything.
Today, as Managing OT/ICS Security Consultant at SIS Industrial Cyber Security, I help organizations build defenses that actually work—not in a lab, but in environments where a wrong move can shut down a city.
