WORK HISTORY
Security Specialist in the Field of Industrial Cybersecurity @Volkswagen Group
Wolfsburg, DE
My passion? Achieving symbiosis of different worlds (IT, OT, Cloud) when it comes to cybersecurity. To achieve this, I am currently responsible for two global projects that contribute to the protection of factories of all our brands (e. g. Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Skoda, Seat). Starting with the selection and implementation of cybersecurity products, especially in the field of network-based intrusion detection systems, up to the development of our own platform for the long-term and strategic anchoring of cybersecurity in factories.
EDUCATION

ABOUT RICARDO HORMANN
I don’t just work in cybersecurity.I rethink it from the ground up.That means breaking down walls between IT, OT, and Cloud.It means questioning concepts everyone else takes for granted.And it means collapsing complexity, because only when security gets simpler, can it truly scale.Now, you might ask:“Wait… isn’t cybersecurity already full of experts? Do we really need another one?”Fair question. Let me explain.We all know the theory.But very few have built a business from scratch at 18 and learned responsibility the hard way.Very few have worked inside one of the world’s largest enterprises - the Volkswagen Group - and seen how cybersecurity operates on a truly global scale.And very few can combine both worlds: entrepreneurial freedom and corporate rigor.That’s what shaped me.Today, I bring strategic and hands-on experience in- Network-based intrusion detection systems- Asset, event & vulnerability management- Designing security strategies that actually work in practiceIn other words:I’m not here to add more layers of complexity.I’m here to challenge the old rules and make cybersecurity work smarter.And if you’re thinking about how to make your security future-proof, we should talk.
