Cybersecurity Professional | Defending Systems, Networks & Data Against Modern Threats

I’m a passionate security practitioner with a strong foundation in programming and a deep understanding of security frameworks. My goal is to deliver practical, scalable solutions to today’s complex security challenges — protecting organizations against evolving digital risks.

I’m Syed Ahmed Owais, a cybersecurity professional with a Master’s in Cybersecurity from DePaul University and hands-on experience in threat detection, cloud security, and compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

My work spans penetration testing, secure architecture design, and AI-driven threat analysis—backed by internships at startups and healthcare networks, where I helped strengthen infrastructure against real-world threats.

With a background in Computer Science from India, I bridge strong technical fundamentals with a global, forward-thinking security mindset. My mission is simple: protect digital systems and data through practical, scalable, and intelligent solutions.
