Our Philosophy

Security is an Enabler

Too often, security is the "Department of No." We flip the script. By building robust guardrails, we allow your business to move faster and take calculated risks with confidence.

Threat-Led Defense

Compliance does not equal security. We design controls based on how attackers actually behave, not just what a checklist says. We prioritize stopping the breach.

Partnership, Not Transaction

We don't drop a PDF report and leave. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your team during audits, incidents, and board meetings. Your success is our reputation.

Why We Started CUSP

"After years advising enterprise clients at Deloitte and managing security across global organizations, we kept seeing the same pattern, companies investing heavily in tools, frameworks, and audits, yet still ending up exposed. The problem wasn't resources. It was the lack of operational ownership. We built CUSP to change that, to bring senior-level accountability directly to every engagement, not delegate it downstream."

Anas Alkatib is a seasoned cybersecurity executive with over 24 years in the technology industry, spanning telecommunications, enterprise IT, and information security. A practitioner at his core, every recommendation he makes is grounded in the same environments he has built, defended, and tested himself.

He spent five years at Deloitte as a Cyber Risk Advisory Manager, leading complex security transformation engagements across financial services, healthcare, and technology sectors, managing portfolios from $150K to $3M. His work brought Big 4 methodological rigor to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS programs.

Prior to CUSP, Anas served as Corporate IT Security Manager at Hino Motors, a global automotive group, where he architected the organization's first enterprise security program from the ground up. Earlier, he held a Director of IT Security role at CCI Systems, driving seven concurrent security initiatives and earning SOC Type II certification, and was a Security Technical Specialist at IBM, deepening expertise in cloud security, threat intelligence, and enterprise advisory.

Anas holds active DoD 8570 IAT/IAM Level III compliance, the U.S. Department of Defense's highest information assurance designation, and is currently pursuing CISSP certification. His technical depth spans Zero Trust architecture, cloud security (Azure, AWS), endpoint detection, mobile threat defense, and identity & access management.
