Amidst an urgent client call, with security alerts blinking on-screen, Simon Ngafeeson is often the calmest person in the room. He speaks in measured, reassuring tones, diffusing panic with clear, confident guidance - all while casually sipping his trademark beverage. It’s a scene colleagues at Camsol Services know well: Simon effortlessly balancing two worlds at once, addressing customer concerns and cybersecurity threats without breaking a sweat.
Securing Success at Camsol Services
As Camsol’s Customer Success Manager and Cybersecurity Professional, Simon wears two important hats. Since stepping into this dual role in early 2023, he has provided strategic leadership for the company’s cybersecurity efforts while also ensuring clients achieve their goals smoothly.
What sets Simon apart is how he mixes cultural intelligence with strategic thinking. Whether he’s speaking with a startup founder in Europe or mentoring a junior developer in Cameroon, he adjusts his approach with empathy and insight.
He is well-versed in cybersecurity frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST, but he never hides behind jargon. He’d rather explain security concepts in plain language than confuse anyone with acronyms. He has implemented comprehensive security policies and procedures that actually stick, and he leads security audits and penetration tests to keep threats at bay.
His impact is clear. By fine-tuning network monitoring, he helped cut incident response time by 20%. The security awareness workshops he runs have also made breaches from human error much rarer.
Calm Leadership and Lifelong Learning
Despite his expertise, Simon remains humble. He doesn’t act like a know-it-all; in fact he often says he learns something from everyone around him.
Before landing in tech, he spent a year teaching computer science at a secondary school in Cameroon - a crash course in patience and communication that he carries with him to this day. Simon earned a degree in Computer Software Engineering in 2022, but graduating didn’t mean stopping. One month you might find him taking an online course in cloud security, the next tinkering with the latest SIEM tools.
Life Beyond Cybersecurity
When he logs off for the day, Simon shifts to a different gear. He often unwinds with an evening walk, calming music in his ears, and isn’t shy about unplugging from tech. Staying active is another key part of his routine - whether it’s a late-night gym session or a friendly football match.
Above all, he cherishes time with loved ones. No work success compares to sharing a laugh with family or friends.
