With a seasoned presence in the industry spanning back to 1996, I embarked on my journey as a network engineer, delving into the intricate realms of technology. Throughout the years, I've engaged with a diverse spectrum of cutting-edge technologies, from industry giants like Cisco and Bay Networks to the robust security fortifications of Checkpoint. My exploration extended to the corridors of Microsoft and Novell, where I contributed to the intricate tapestry of digital connectivity. My passion for innovation led me to pioneering efforts in shaping network security, most notably deploying the first Access Control Lists (ACLs) and sculpting solutions in the domain of Identity and Access Management, rooted in IBM Tivoli's visionary solutions. Embracing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, I championed the deployment of robust fortifications, including 2-factor authentication, multi-layered antivirus controls, and precision-tuned Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems. Venturing further into the dynamic arena, I embraced the vital role of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, orchestrating an intricate dance with data to unveil hidden insights and mitigate emerging threats. The last 13 years of my journey have been intertwined with Imperva, where my canvas expanded across the regions of Benelux, Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe. In 2018, my focus took a strategic shift, as I donned the mantle of collaboration. I dedicated my expertise to nurturing and strengthening relationships with Imperva partners across EMEA. My mission was clear – to equip these partners with an intimate understanding of Imperva's solutions, enabling them to deliver unparalleled value to their discerning clientele. Through a tapestry woven with hands-on experience, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, I have emerged as a steadfast advocate for holistic cybersecurity, painting new horizons of protection for organizations in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
