Moiz Lakdawala
Director Of Security Operations
Years Of Experience
Security Engineer (CISSP) | Cloud Security • SIEM • Incident Response
With 8+ years in IT operations and cybersecurity, I’m a CISSP-certified security leader currently serving as Director of Security Operations, leading MDR, SOC operations, detection engineering, and security consulting. I help organizations strengthen their monitoring and response programs by improving visibility, detection fidelity, incident handling, and operational governance—turning security into measurable outcomes.
My background spans SOC advisory, threat-informed detection engineering, and security automation across SIEM, endpoint and cloud telemetry, and network security. I’ve built and scaled SOC operating models, designed playbooks and escalation standards, and improved signal-to-noise through tuning and quality controls. I enjoy solving hard problems, mentoring teams, and delivering clear, executive-ready recommendations that teams can actually implement.

Had the pleasure of working closely with Abdulmoiz during his time at ArcticWolf. He constantly impressed management with his ability and drive to learn new concepts. Lazy is not in his vocabulary, if you have the chance to add Abdulmoiz to your team, take it!
I had the pleasure of working with AbdulMoiz at Arctic Wolf Networks. He showed exceptional skills in learning new tools and processes and has deep knowledge of endpoint, network security, and identity and access management. Customer satisfaction and addressing customer security requirements in a short amount of time are his key strengths. If you are looking for a resource who is quick to learn and has expertise in multiple security areas, then AbdulMoiz will be a great pick for your company.
I had the privilege of working alongside Moiz for 1 year. During that time, Moiz proved to be an exceptional mentor and friend. Moiz has an amazing ability to inspire and motivate others to achieve their best, and I was fortunate to benefit from this firsthand. Moiz's guidance and support were invaluable to me, and I credit much of my professional growth and success to Moiz's mentorship. In addition to Moiz's impressive technical skills and natural talent for solving any problems, he is also a genuinely kind person. He truly cares about the well-being of others. I wished I had the opportunity to work with him for more time than I did. Any organization would be lucky to have Moiz on its team.
