Masuma Shariff

Security and Compliance Consultant @ Advania UK

Technology has changed my life, and I’m passionate about helping others unlock the same opportunities.

I’m a Security & Compliance Consultant at Advania UK, where I work with organisations to strengthen their cybersecurity, protect data, and navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Over the past few years, I’ve combined hands-on consulting experience with a passion for public speaking, delivering sessions at TEDx, NDC conferences, and Manchester Metropolitan University’s Business School Entrepreneur Society.

My talks explore cybersecurity, AI, security architecture, technology careers, and the societal impact of emerging technologies. I enjoy turning complex topics into engaging conversations that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences.

I’m particularly passionate about increasing representation in technology and inspiring more women to pursue careers in the industry.
