As Co-Lead of Cyber Security, my goal is to support the security and resilience of my clients.

On an organizational level, it is important to address the increasing dynamic security threats through appropriate governance. In the area of technical security, today's hybrid infrastructures (OnPrem/Cloud) in particular have special requirement profiles, which I address with my team through comprehensive and effective catalogs of measures in order to achieve the highest possible, robust technical security.

Finally, frequent security incidents have a business-threatening or even existence-threatening effect on companies: here, the fastest possible emergency operation and a sustainable restoration of business operations is the top priority. Flanked by targeted crisis communication. Thanks to my many years of experience in cyber security and the corresponding reputation, I can offer my expertise across all industries - because I think like attackers do: independent of industry.

Today, I look back, not without pride, on a 25+ year career as a consultant in the information technology industry, which has changed dramatically since the early 2000s. During this time, I spent 11 years leading one of the best security/hacking teams in the world. My personal background includes the execution and management of projects within a broad spectrum such as information security management, process management, risk management and project management, as well as operationally oriented projects with a particular focus on technical security projects such as hardening of systems and infrastructures and penetration testing of hardware (IT, OT, IoT) and software.

Since 2003, I have multiple proven excellent experience in handling major security incidents and crisis management in the field of ransomware attacks, industrial sabotage and espionage (forensics). In addition, the development and implementation of new or adapted security strategies and security architectures in the aftermath of security incidents is a core part of my daily business.
