ABOUT CALIN RUS
As the Chief Information Security Officer of a group with employees, I lead cybersecurity initiatives that bridge business objectives with robust risk management. I specialize in aligning with frameworks such as BSI IT-Grundschutz, ISO 27001, DORA, and NIS2, while crafting security strategies that are both technically sound and culturally resonant.I believe security awareness is most effective when it’s engaging and human-centered. Whether it’s through creative phishing simulations, humorous intranet campaigns, or clear policy communication, I make cybersecurity approachable without losing rigor.A strong advocate for continuous improvement, I combine strategic oversight with hands-on execution—from analyzing CVSS vulnerabilities to refining IAM processes. Outside of work, I’m equally focused on personal discipline, applying the same drive to fitness, habit-building, and long-term health.
