Ahmed Abugharbia is the co-founder of Cystack, a leading cybersecurity firm, and the founder of Cyberdojo, a company developing AI-based threat hunting tools and offering specialized Cloud and AI Security services. He has built advanced capabilities in cloud security and helped establish Cloud Security Operations Centers for multiple Fortune 100 companies, significantly strengthening their ability to detect and respond to evolving threats. With over 17 years of experience in the field, Ahmed has led large-scale initiatives across cloud security, network and application security, and incident response. A SANS Certified Instructor, he is the author of SEC545: GenAI and LLM Application Security and also teaches SEC540: Cloud Native Security and DevSecOps Automation.
Ahmed is incredibly interactive, adept at explaining obtuse concepts, and enriches delivery through his own real-world experiences. He is also willing to stop and help those who need it.
He's great. One thing that stands out is that he gives us the history of why things are the way they are. With a lot of newer technologies, we are generally expected to learn what they do, why they do it, but never why it is done a certain way. Ahmed gives us that history which makes a big difference.
Ahmed describes the content clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and offers hooks to keep us coming back for more.
