Dr. Yusuf Hashmi has joined Dell Technologies UAE as Chief Cybersecurity Advisor, bringing deep leadership in cyber resilience, security strategy, and operational transformation across enterprise and government landscapes. In this advisory role, Dr. Hashmi will guide CXOs, CISOs, and senior security leaders across the region on modernizing security architectures, adopting Zero Trust, and building AI-enabled security operations that reduce risk while enabling digital transformation.
At Dell, he will spearhead executive-level engagements to align business priorities with secure architectures, advise on protecting hybrid and multi-cloud estates, secure OT/ICS environments, and help organisations implement robust cyber recovery and ransomware resilience frameworks. He will also work closely with product, sales, and engineering teams to translate customer needs into practical solutions and drive cybersecurity thought leadership through briefings and industry forums.
Dr. Hashmi arrives with a strong track record across senior CISO and advisory roles, including leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity programs at large conglomerates, building Global Cyber Defense operations, and delivering measurable outcomes—such as cost reductions, improved detection and response, and accelerated security maturity. His experience spans Security Service Edge (SSE), PAM, ITDR, next-gen SIEM, attack-surface management, and people-centric security programs—making him well suited to help UAE organisations strengthen cyber posture and confidently adopt next-generation technologies.
