Edinburgh, UK (13.06.2024) – Adarma, an independent leader in detection and response services, has today announced that Algi Tabir, a senior security engineer, has been honoured with the SC Award in the Rising Star category. This recognition celebrates Algi’s extraordinary contributions to the cybersecurity sector, particularly his efforts in making cybersecurity education more accessible to the deaf community. Now in its 27th year, the 2024 SC Awards stand as a prestigious cornerstone in the cybersecurity awards calendar. These awards honour outstanding organisations, solutions, and individuals who drive innovation and success in the information security sector.

Algi’s journey into cybersecurity is nothing short of inspiring. With a background in construction, he transitioned into this complex field only two years ago, driven by a deep-seated desire to create accessible educational resources for the deaf community, inspired by his brother’s experiences.

Algi has made significant strides in translating complex cybersecurity concepts into sign language and providing mentorship to individuals from diverse backgrounds. His dedication has led to the development of sign language tutorials and mentoring sessions, which not only make cybersecurity knowledge more accessible but also empower individuals like his brother to pursue careers in this dynamic field.

As a senior security engineer at Adarma, Algi has quickly established himself as a subject matter expert in technologies such as Cribl, a software solution addressing critical data and security management challenges.

Beyond his technical expertise, Algi’s commitment to mentorship extends far beyond his workplace. He offers free guidance and support to aspiring professionals from various disciplines, aiding their transition into cybersecurity. His initiatives include providing a comprehensive cybersecurity roadmap, suggesting innovative project ideas, and assisting with interview preparation, thus lowering the barriers to entry for many.

Algi’s work has been instrumental in fostering greater diversity and inclusion within the cybersecurity sector. His innovative approach and dedication to making cybersecurity accessible to the deaf community have set him apart as a role model in the field. The judges of the prestigious award said that he is a “great example of a self-guided career changer who is already giving back to the community and additionally developing unique ways of making a difference by growing diversity in the industry.”

Algi’s recognition as a Rising Star underscores his profound impact and promises a bright future in cybersecurity. His story is a testament to the power of dedication, innovation, and inclusivity.
