@adetayoajibade
Cybersecurity leader driving incident response, cloud and endpoint security improvements.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Information Security specialist with 7+ years' experience leading teams in cybersecurity, incident response, threat intelligence, cloud security and endpoint protection. I combine hands-on technical expertise with operational leadership to strengthen detection, response and compliance.
At banks and financial organizations I architected and managed digital security programs—deploying Forcepoint, Proofpoint, CyberArk, Venafi and multi-vendor EDR—to reduce malware, data exfiltration and fraud, automate certificate lifecycles, and improve PAM and FIM controls.
I mentor and build high-performing teams, manage security budgets and serve as audit liaison while delivering measurable outcomes: major reductions in incident rates and MTTR, high platform uptimes, and improved compliance with ISO-27001, NDPR and PCI-DSS.
