A strategy that uses "zero trust" models and is tightly integrating with a PAM strategy will prove beneficial, Huneyd says in a video interview with Information Security Media Group.
This interview was part of Information Security Media Group's recent Cybersecurity Virtual Summit: Middle East. Huneyd also offers insights on:
- How to improve identity governance to provide appropriate user access;
- Adopting an identity and data-centric cybersecurity model;
- Building an IAM framework for a cloud strategy.
Before joining Ericsson, Huneyd was the global CISO of Ooredoo, a Qatar-based telecommunications firm. He has 23 years of cybersecurity, business continuity and risk management experience. He's a member of the Qatar National Cyber Security Strategy Committee and formerly led security teams in India, Southeast Asia, the GCC region and North Africa.
