Background

About Akeel Sayed

During my career in the ICT and cybersecurity fields, I’ve obtained exceptional competency across a wide range of disciplines. My experience covers desktop, networks, cybersecurity, IT leadership, and technical governance at a local and international level. Prior to joining CYBER1 Solutions, I held several roles at Dimension Data, including senior networks and security engineer, where I was responsible for building, maintaining, and improving a hosted contact centre infrastructure. During my six years at CYBER1 Solutions, my role has grown from technical support to heading up managed security services and currently a role focused on technical governance. This steady growth has given me the full spectrum of skills and knowledge required to help the business achieve its goals, and to give clients total confidence that their environments are safe and secure. I studied Design & Implementation of Telecommunication Networks through UNISA, and always looking to expand my skills and knowledge base, achieved several certifications ranging from technical competencies with industry leading vendors such as Cisco, Checkpoint, PaloAlto, and Microsoft, amongst others, including broader industry certifications with EC-Council and Axelos.
