Background

About Marc F.

I started my career back in as a call centre agent supporting dial-up internet connections. Since then, I’ve worked my way through the ranks by staying curious, constantly learning, and always being hands-on with technology. That mindset has shaped my journey and brought me to where I am today, a CISO with a passion for helping businesses integrate cybersecurity in a practical, meaningful way.Cybersecurity isn’t just a job title for me. It’s something I genuinely care about. I believe in working alongside teams, not above them, and creating a culture where security is part of the conversation from the ground up. My goal is always to make security work for the business, not against it.For the past 13 years, I’ve been part of the team at Teraco, where I’ve grown both professionally and personally. My time at Teraco has been a cornerstone in my career, giving me deep exposure to data centre environments, infrastructure security, and the real-world application of best practices.I’m currently pursuing my MSc in Cybersecurity at Royal Holloway, University of London. This next chapter is both a challenge and an exciting opportunity to deepen my understanding and keep pushing forward. I’m also actively involved in ensuring our organisation meets ISO 27001:2022 standards, and I’m building knowledge in SOC 2 and NIST 800-82, especially where IT and OT environments intersect.My background includes data centre security, business intelligence, database design, and disaster recovery. But more importantly, it includes a genuine interest in people, processes, and progress. I’m especially fascinated by OT and IoT technologies and how they tie into today’s evolving threat landscape.Whether it’s mentoring others, sharing what I’ve learned, or staying on top of new tech trends, I’m always looking to grow and to help others grow too.
