ABOUT MIKITA HANETS
I’m a cybersecurity generalist with experience across both technical domains and strategic consulting, helping organisations design and deliver programmes that are resilient, compliant, and aligned with business objectives.As a Manager in EY’s Cybersecurity Strategy team in London, I support clients in telecoms, software, and the public sector to:• Develop and implement cybersecurity strategies, operating models, and governance frameworks• Identify security gaps and align initiatives with standards such as ISO 27001, the Telecommunications Security Act (TSA), and NIST• Design and facilitate incident response exercises for both technical teams and senior leadership Previously, I worked as a Cybersecurity Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan — publishing market research and thought leadership, advising CISOs, and co-hosting webinars with leading security vendors. With a background in political science and computer science, I bridge the gap between policy, business, and technology. I’m particularly interested in evidence-based control selection, the interplay between cybersecurity and geopolitics, and threat intelligence–driven strategy. Open to cybersecurity debates, networking, and collaboration opportunities.
