Summary
Saeed Algarni is a seasoned cyber security consultant with 11 years of experience designing and operating security programs across government and critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. He has led CSOC and OT SOC teams, managed DFIR, threat hunting and intelligence operations, and overseen budgeting and staffing at executive reporting levels. A former senior web developer turned security engineer, he blends hands-on technical skills (OOP, jQuery, ASP.NET AJAX) with advanced incident response and threat-hunting expertise.
