As a Strategic Advisor, I have a proven track record of translating technical risks into actionable business impact for C-level stakeholders. Core areas of expertise: - GRC: Information Security Strategy (ISS), EBIOS RM, ISO 27005. - Compliance: NIS2, DORA, GDPR, and Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). - Technical Ops: Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, and Infrastructure Security (Firewalls, EDR/XDR). - Industrial Security: Critical infrastructure protection based on IEC 62443
