Cybersecurity has become a big concern for organizations worldwide. The accelerated shift to cloud solutions, the increased number of IoT devices, and the expansion of supply chain networks have increased organizations cyberattack surface and made them vulnerable to different cyber threats.

Nowadays, most organizations have their security teams to respond to their needs, while the small ones outsource their IT security needs to a third-party provider. Cybersecurity managers typically manage teams and create a cyber defense strategy. The role became critical over time.

Becoming a leader in technology job roles does not only require having technical competencies. For instance, soft skills are essential to manage and inspire other employees. Cybersecurity experts have comprehensive knowledge about the various data protection laws implemented worldwide. These professionals remain up to date with the latest technological trends, cyber threats, attack vectors, and the best countermeasures to prevent and defeat cyberattacks.

With such a significant skillset and a resolute leadership acumen, Bechir SEBAI, CEO of ACG Cybersecurity, has built over twenty years of know-how and experience in the Information Systems Security and Cybersecurity field in France and abroad, mainly for major banking and telecommunications accounts. He has led several structuring projects, including:

• Information Security Management System (ISMS) – ISO/IEC 27001, Privacy Management System (PIMS)- ISO/IEC 27701, and Business Continuity Management System (BCMS)- ISO 22301, IT Risk Management, Information Security Audit and Assessment, IT Master Plan Development, Business and Service Continuity, Information Security, Cybersecurity Program Implementation, and IT Technical Audit in various sectors.
• PECB-certified trainer and teacher at the Ecole Supérieure de Génie Informatique ESGI, holder of several certifications in the field of cybersecurity, information security, risk management, EBIOS-RM, business continuity and resilience.

Bechir has also been awarded the title of “PECB Cybersecurity Trainer” four times in a row (2019 to 2022), for his teaching with feedback and pedagogy, reflecting his field experience.
