Hands-on support
Iam Ahmed , a seasoned Information Security Professional with over 14 years of experience, I bring deep expertise in risk management, compliance assessment, and ISO/IEC 27001 implementation, certification, and auditing.
What truly motivates me is helping others grow. I actively coach undergraduates, recent graduates, career changers, and professionals looking to upskill in cybersecurity. Through one-on-one coaching, mock interviews, and tailored career guidance, I help mentees build confidence, sharpen their focus, and navigate the cybersecurity landscape with clarity.
In my current global role, I’ve successfully advised IT security teams on aligning with internal standards, leading to measurable improvements in their security posture. A key part of my work involves driving awareness around security and compliance—through structured onboarding, targeted training, and continuous engagement with teams across regions.
I also design and deliver awareness sessions and workshops that demystify complex security topics, making them accessible and actionable for both technical and non-technical audiences.
My goal is to foster a culture of security awareness and empower individuals to take ownership of their learning journey.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take the next step in your cybersecurity career, I’m here to support you with practical insights, structured coaching, and a collaborative approach tailored to your goals.
5 out of 5 stars
Through talking for only 30mins and some generous messages on Ahmed's part all during the trial period, I finally see a possible way out of my situation. I have been stuck in repeated entry level posistions in my field for almost 10 years with prior advice landing me in the same posistion as I was in before with little progress of note despite my efforts. During one video call with Ahmed he listened to my concerns, what I disliked about my current responsibilites and salary and helped guide me in direction that prior mentors on MentorCruise never mentioned to me and Copilot/Gemini doesnt have the intelligence to communicate. Even though he gave me invaluable advice during the first 24 hours and suggested I cancel my subscription since he had already given me the information I needed so I wouldnt be charged, I felt the need to let the subscription pass the trial into one month because he showed me an option that couldve saved me much time/money/suffering had I known him 2 mentors and 2 years prior. If your looking for a career change or your trying to excel on your career path Ahmed is a great mentor to talk to. I would definetely work with him again.
