Making security work in the real world

Security isn't just about frameworks and checkboxes. It's about understanding what actually keeps organisations safe — and what's just theatre.

After 15 years of experience and hundreds of engagements, I've seen what separates programmes that survive audits from programmes that survive attacks. The difference is rarely where people expect.

I still get my hands dirty. Peer-reviewed research on IoT vulnerabilities, OSINT, and threat detection keeps me honest about what works in the field — not just what looks good in a slide deck.

Currently at Deloitte, helping enterprises navigate the gap between compliance requirements and genuine resilience.
