About

I lead cybersecurity for a hospital in Riyadh, where protecting patient data and keeping clinical systems available go hand in hand.

I came up through infrastructure — network engineering and systems administration — before moving into security leadership. That background shapes how I work: I translate regulatory requirements such as NCA ECC, PDPL, CBAHI and ISO 27001 into controls that work in a live clinical environment, with a strong focus on governance, risk and identity & access management.
