Cyber Security 2022

Leif är relativt nyanställd på Sectra, men har mer än 15 års erfarenhet av teknisk IT-säkerhet i alla dess aspekter. Han har bland annat arbetat med incidenthantering, härdning, intrångsdetektion, digital forensik och penetrationstestning. Han har även hållit en rad utbildningar i digital forensik och incidenthantering, och är en populär föreläsare. Han har stöttat polismyndigheter i en rad länder i utredningar av digitala och ekonomiska brott. Han har hackat CERN. Två gånger.

Dr. Lutz Jänicke studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin, where he also earned his doctorate on simulating electromagnetic fields. In 2002, he joined Innominate Security Technologies AG (now Phoenix Contact Cyber Security GmbH), a competence center for industrial cyber security, where, as CTO, he was responsible for development for both HW and SW for the mGuard industrial firewall ecosystem. Since 2016, Dr. Jänicke has been the Corporate Product & Solution Security Officer with overall responsibility for the cyber security of products and solutions at Phoenix Contact.

Dr. Jänicke is a recognized expert in security technologies and has been involved in many open-source projects. He is active in various committees and bodies that deal with IT security for automation applications, including being deputy chairman of DKE UK 931.1 «IT Security in Automation Technology», the German committee for IEC 62443.
The more informal story of Lutz journey moving from simulating electromagnetic fields to become an OT cyber security pioneer and renown expert is best precented with his own words:
While doing my PhD at TU Berlin I by accident became the system administrator. After my PhD I joined my professor at another university and hence became system admin at both the old and the new institute and had to find ways for remote administration, secure communication etc.

Since at university you have some time but limited budgets, I started writing my own open-source tools and participated in projects like OpenSSL.
The global community simulating electromagnetic fields consisted at the time of about 600 people. To my knowledge it has not changed much. Every year there was a conference where about 300 of us met and talked about the same topics as the year before, with just a few millimeters of advancement. I had the choice to try and earn a professorship and go on this way for the next 30+ years. Instead, I found interest in the advancement of cyber security and took the opportunity to make my side project and hobby into a living. I have so far not regretted the change of field
