ABOUT TAREK HABIB

As a Partner and leader in KPMG’s cybersecurity practice in Atlantic Canada, I help organizations build resilience and trust in an increasingly complex threat environment. With over a decade of experience advising executives, CISOs, and public sector leaders, I specialize in designing pragmatic, risk-informed strategies that protect critical systems, sensitive data, and business operations. My work spans cybersecurity strategies and assessments, cloud security, privacy risk management and business resilience - including crisis management, business continuity planning, technology disaster recovery and cyber incident response planning. I lead complex cyber resilience engagements across sectors such as manufacturing, professional services, non-profits, law enforcement, and all levels of government, helping my clients navigate regulatory requirements and emerging threats with confidence. I’m passionate about translating complex technical risks into practical and actionable measures for decision-makers. Whether training boards and executives on their cyber risk oversight responsibilities, leading tabletop exercises, or speaking at industry events, I aim to raise awareness and drive meaningful change to make our communities more resilient. I’m committed to advancing cybersecurity maturity across Atlantic Canada and beyond, and I welcome opportunities to collaborate with organizations, communities, and professionals working to strengthen their cyber and business resilience, before and after breaches occur.
