Ronald WAMALA
@ronaldwamala
Cybersecurity professional focused on risk management and threat mitigation.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity professional with a background in information security assurance, risk management, and vulnerability remediation, bringing hands-on experience from both public sector and private sector environments. I have worked with Qualys for vulnerability processing, coordinated pen-test remediation, supported ISO27001 implementation, and managed incidents and security reporting to reduce organisational exposure.
My approach combines technical understanding with clear communication: I explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders, collaborate with ISMs, CISOs and DISOs, and build relationships to drive security objectives. I have supported supplier onboarding and third-party due diligence, administered Imperva user accounts, and produced reports and metrics using Power BI automation.
I am self-motivated, adaptable, and passionate about continuous learning and emerging technologies; I seek to apply my analytical skills, data protection knowledge, and practical security operations experience to a forward-thinking team focused on strengthening security posture and achieving compliance.
