I secure industrial control environments through OT risk assessments, audits, hardening, and remediation.

I've delivered OT cybersecurity work for NEOM, Rumaila, INTECH, Luberef, PepsiCo, Yanpet, and Methanex, supporting industrial environments across oil and gas, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.

I conduct OT risk, vulnerability, criticality, and gap assessments; develop audit reports, unified control registers, compliance trackers, lifecycle plans, and OT reference architectures. My work aligns security posture and remediation with ISA/IEC 62443, NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, HCIS SEC-12, and national cybersecurity requirements.

I've assessed Windows services, GPOs, user accounts, switches, firewalls, suspicious software, and system vulnerabilities, then turned findings into practical recommendations for asset owners and stakeholders.

I also strengthen operational resilience through system hardening, penetration testing, patch management, network segmentation, SIEM monitoring, backup validation, disaster recovery planning, and hands-on recovery training for OT teams.
