16+ years securing critical infrastructure across defence, telecom, healthcare, banking, oil & gas, and government. Based in Riyadh.

With over 16 years in cybersecurity, my work spans the full spectrum of enterprise security — from governance, risk, and compliance to threat architecture, red teaming, and the design of secure systems at scale.

I hold the CISSP, CISM, and CompTIA SecurityX certifications, and have led security programs for some of the most complex, regulated environments in the region: defence contractors, national telecoms operators, hospital networks, financial institutions, upstream oil & gas, and central government entities.

Alongside that career, I have spent years building at the intersection of AI, SaaS, and cybersecurity — resulting in MYTHOS, a portfolio of tools built to make security work leaner and sharper.

MYTHOS ميثوس

MYTHOS is a technology venture building at the convergence of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and SaaS. It exists to turn practitioner-grade expertise into software products that work the way security professionals actually think.

The portfolio covers compliance automation, open-source intelligence, and private AI infrastructure — each product designed to solve a real operational problem rather than pad a feature list.

Compliance Software

GRC & Risk

A governance, risk, and compliance platform built for the regulatory environments of the Gulf — mapping controls to frameworks such as NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, and ISO 27001. Designed to cut audit preparation time significantly.

Digital Presence Tool

SaaS  ·  Brand Intelligence

A web-based tool and browser extension that helps brands, researchers, and marketers track and secure their digital identity across hundreds of online platforms — fast, clean, and built for scale.

Private AI Software

AI Infrastructure

An on-premises AI system for organisations where data sovereignty is non-negotiable. Runs large language models entirely within a controlled environment — no cloud dependency, no external exposure.

Cultural City Game

Interactive  ·  Entertainment

An interactive game set in Riyadh, built to celebrate Saudi culture and urban identity. Designed for local audiences with authentic landmarks, narratives, and experiences rooted in the city.
