Dieter is working extensively within operational technology and industrial environments since 2008 (working in “cyber” security since 1997) for which he provides security consultancy, assessments, training and awareness sessions with regards to industrial security. He performs different kinds of maturity, risk and technical security assessments within these industrial environments. A large part is about helping organisations to manage security within new solutions deployed by their suppliers or integrators.
