Head of cyber security engineering and architecture
/ Maguire
I am Hud Seidu Daannaa, chief security architect/researcher, lecturer, author, and SME with deep expertise in AI-driven cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and SOC-as-a-Service engineering. I’ve pioneered next-generation Security Operations Centers in both government and private sectors under top-level security clearances, delivering resilient defense capabilities and operational excellence.
My work spans the full security engineering lifecycle, from building security data lakes and vulnerability management solutions to security framework design, threat intelligence, automated incident response, and digital forensics—augmented by big-data analytics, AI/ML (LLMs, RAG), and custom security tooling via scripting for cloud and containers.
As a university lecturer and subject-matter expert, I lead security research initiatives and design hands-on courses and workshops in cyber security, which comprises ethical hacking, threat intelligence, and digital forensics, bridging cutting-edge theory with real-world skills.
