About the Management Team

Meet Christiaan

Christiaan Swanepoel

Head: Cyber Managed Services

With nearly two decades of experience across Cyber Security architecture, identity and access management, and large-scale technical leadership, I’ve stepped into the role of Head: Cyber Managed Services at CYBER1 Solutions to fundamentally rethink how cyber defence is delivered on the continent.

I lead with a strong belief: cybersecurity must evolve beyond compliance checklists and reactive models. My mission is to drive a new era of cyber managed services — built around proactivity, resilience, and real-world operational impact.

In this role, I’m reshaping how Security Operations Centres (SOC), Managed Detection & Response (MDR), and Identity Security are designed, integrated, and scaled. From building unified, high-performing cyber teams to embedding automation and intelligence into every layer of service, my focus is on delivering outcomes that matter.

Whether it’s leading large-scale incident responses, integrating IAM/PAM solutions, or aligning cyber strategies with complex regulatory frameworks, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, and leadership.
