Senior🎓
Top SchoolOmar Houssaini is a Professor of Computer Science and cybersecurity researcher with eight years of formal experience and two decades of institutional impact at Al Akhawayn University, where he designed a Master’s program in Information Systems Security and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses spanning secure software architecture, distributed programming, cloud and edge computing. He combines deep academic research on collaborative cloud-based self-protecting software—bridging application-level intrusion detection, unsupervised ML and trust—with hands-on IT leadership as a former IT Director who managed a €2M budget, campus-wide networks, virtualized data centres and large security transformations. As founder and chief architect of Galactis and a visiting researcher in cybersecurity, he blends entrepreneurial product thinking with rigorous research and practical system deployments. His background across people, processes and technology—from strategy and governance to implementation and continual improvement—gives him a rare end-to-end view of secure systems lifecycles. Notably, his work emphasizes collaborative, cloud-native defenses that let distributed applications detect and mitigate attacks without centralized oversight, reflecting both theoretical innovation and operational pragmatism.
