Salmi Ahsan

My name is Salmi Ahsan , and I bring over 13 years of diverse experience in the field of Information Security, with a strong focus on SOC operations, threat detection, and security implementation. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on some of the most high-impact cybersecurity initiatives in the UAE, including projects with Smart Dubai Government (SDG), Expo 2020, and the Abu Dhabi Smart Solutions and Digital Government Authority (ASDA), between 2015 and 2021. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the region’s cybersecurity landscape and regulatory framework.

I hold several industry-recognized certifications, including the GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA), EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA), Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), and Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), which have further strengthened my technical foundation.

Currently, I serve as a Security Solution Advisor at SAP, where my role bridges the gap between cybersecurity technology and business strategy. This position has expanded my perspective, allowing me to support organizations not just in securing their environments, but in aligning cybersecurity efforts with broader business objectives.
