Short profile

Malik Kimani Senior Enterprise Cybersecurity Architect

I turn abstract IT risks into practical technical architectures. Whether systems run in the cloud or on premises, I focus on keeping business-critical services secure in day-to-day use, not just on paper.

“Security should not get in the way of day-to-day operations, but gaps in controls can put them at risk. My job is to strike that balance in architecture and code.”

Expertise

Malik Kimani

M.Sc. IT Security, TU Darmstadt

  1. Enterprise Security Architecture

    I design Zero Trust security architectures for cloud and hybrid environments. Using infrastructure as code with Terraform, I make security baselines repeatable and automate their deployment with the necessary safeguards.

  2. Threat Defense & Incident Response

    When prevention is not enough, response time matters. I build monitoring systems that help distinguish genuine attacks from routine activity. When an incident occurs, I lead the technical containment with a clear plan and a calm approach.

  3. Compliance & Risk Management

    I translate requirements from NIS-2 and standards such as ISO 27001 into concrete technical controls. This helps teams prepare for audits while keeping those controls practical for everyday development.
