Ali Alrushaid

Chief Information Security Officer

Ali Alrushaid is Chief Information Security Officer at ASMO, the national healthcare logistics company owned by the Public Investment Fund. The company runs the pharmaceutical and medical supply chain in the Kingdom, from unified procurement through storage and refrigerated transport to hospitals and health centres. Securing that chain is a particular kind of OT security: automated warehouses, inventory management systems and cold chains whose temperature is monitored in real time, where tampering with the data does not merely disrupt a process but may spoil a medicine or take a vaccine out of service. The file also intersects with health data protection regulation.
