Hi! I am Ahmed! I am currently working as Research Lead in Fortune 500 Company, where I reverse engineer malware and perform security research to understand attacker behavior. I have worked in Microsoft and CrowdStrike in Security Research, Security Engineering and Managed Detection and Response team. I have been working in Cyber Security industry for more than 15 years. I am passionate about making Cyber Security accessible to everyone. Through my course/s, my YouTube channel and social media I share what I am working on, support people in this wonderful field. I have spent a significant portion of my career on the front line. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work on major cybersecurity incidents, including WannaCry, NotPetya, Solar Winds, Proxy Shell, and others. Additionally, I have successfully protected numerous clients from major ransomware attacks. I am always happy to share my knowledge through social media, my YouTube channel and I have lately started working on accessible Cyber Security Courses. I understand that most of the courses out there are expensive, which is why this academy is solely focused on creating comprehensive courses which are affordable for our students.
