James Nyamu
I help people start — first drills, career direction, first 90 days.
I am an experienced information security leader with over eight years in financial services, retail, and cloud environments. My career spans roles as Head of Infrastructure & Information Security at Kenswitch, Network Security Engineer at Network International, and IT Manager at Optica. I have led PCI DSS and ISO 27001 compliance programs, managed enterprise risk registers, and overseen incident response across complex environments. My technical expertise includes SIEM monitoring, vulnerability management, and cloud security (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM, Azure). I am also a Wazuh Ambassador, actively contributing to the cybersecurity community through mentorship and knowledge sharing. Currently preparing for the CISSP exam, I combine hands‑on technical depth with a strong governance mindset. My passion lies in mentoring professionals to build resilience, align security with business goals, and grow into leadership roles.
Tap a topic you want a group talk on — once 20 learners want it, a coordinator schedules it.
Need 20 credits to register · once enough learners sign up, a programme coordinator confirms the talk.
Pick a duration and tell the mentor exactly what you want help with.
A reviewer validated this mentor’s evidence before their profile went live and scoped what they’re cleared to validate. A suspended mentor is removed from this page immediately — verification is re-checked at the point of use, never assumed.
