Summary
Dmitry Efanov is a seasoned cybersecurity researcher and educator with over 20 years designing and hardening security-critical GNU/Linux systems across diverse hardware architectures (x86, SPARC, POWER, z, MIPS, Elbrus). As a long-standing docent at MEPhI, he blends academic rigor—holding a PhD—with practical leadership from executive cybersecurity roles at Sberbank and R&D directorships within Rostec. He founded and led a digital technologies research center, demonstrating entrepreneurial drive alongside institutional experience in large enterprises and government-affiliated labs. Dmitry’s expertise spans low-level OS design, secure system engineering, and knowledge dissemination through teaching, making him as comfortable in lecture halls as in incident response and architecture reviews. Less obvious: his career reflects deep platform portability experience, routinely applying the same security principles across radically different CPU families and constrained environments.
