Hello, Here's Ahmed Khattab, Cybersecurity Leader GRC & Risk Management Professional Mentor.
What I can do
Transforming Cyber Risks Into Business Resilience
Cyber Risk Strategy & Governance
Align cybersecurity with business objectives. I design and oversee enterprise-wide security strategies, governance frameworks, and risk management programs that drive resilience and compliance.
Enterprise Security Architecture & Operations
From infrastructure to applications, I architect and supervise secure, scalable systems. I establish SOC processes, threat intelligence integrations, and security-by-design principles for long-term defense.
Compliance, Audits & Regulatory Alignment
Ensure your organization meets the highest international standards (ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, GDPR). I lead compliance readiness, security audits, and executive reporting for boards and regulators.
Offensive & Defensive Security Programs
Oversee penetration testing, red/blue team engagements, vulnerability management, and incident response. I manage security teams and partners to continually test, strengthen, and evolve defenses.
I am a Seasoned Cybersecurity Leader with extensive experience in penetration testing, vulnerability management, and enterprise-wide security governance. Over the years, I’ve directed security programs that blend offensive security expertise with governance, risk, and compliance frameworks, ensuring organizations remain resilient against evolving threats. As a CSO, I specialize in translating complex security risks into clear business insights, building security-first cultures, and aligning cyber strategy with organizational growth.
