About Joe Shenouda

CISO | Strategist | Military Reservist

I am a results-oriented and strategic CISO with extensive experience leading complex security operations and transformations on an international scale. My work bridges the gap between deep technical execution and executive-level strategy, drawing on a unique background that spans corporate leadership, elite consulting, and military cyber operations.

My approach is built on a foundation of real-world experience, from architecting the complete cybersecurity strategy for major retail brands like Hunkemöller to leading global teams of up to 80 security experts at Accenture. As a Principal Cyber Analyst at Verizon, I led a team of 25 Senior SOC Analysts, giving me a ground-level view of the evolving threat landscape.

This corporate experience is augmented by my service as a Lieutenant (Reservist) in the Defense Cyber Command (DCC), where I conducted OSINT missions and contributed to the protection of national interests. This dual perspective allows me to provide unique insights into threat actor motivations, geopolitical cyber conflict, and the practical application of threat intelligence in both corporate and government environments.

This blog is a platform for sharing those insights, with a focus on actionable intelligence and strategic guidance for security professionals and business leaders alike.
