About

I am working in the Networking Security Industry since 1994 and have been involved in many big Projects around all technologies like IPS, Firewalling, VPN, Content Security and Identity. For some years I was also working closely with Channel Partners and supporting their development. My current role is a Architecture role for Network and Information Security and covering dedicated accounts globally. The area that I am focusing on is cloud, 5G and OT security. I also have a special eye on protocols like HTTP/2, QUIC and the impact of TLS on network security. In my current role I am a Security Consultant specialised in OT and IOT releated security solutions. My big passion is to create and deliver presentations on stage. For over 10 years I was leading the Security track of one of the biggest technical conferences, "CiscoLive!" in Europe.
