Gyula Novák is a senior security leader and IT/OT vCISO based in Budapest with 20+ years protecting high-assurance rail, automotive, and financial systems and 11 years of focused experience in enterprise and product security roles. He uniquely bridges SIL4/CENELEC safety engineering with cloud security governance (ISO 27001, NIST), driving turnarounds of distressed CPS programs and operationalizing NIS2 compliance for Essential Entities. Gyula has led global V&V and security CoEs, built secure cloud-to-vehicle architectures for automotive maps and ADAS, and scaled offshore engineering teams while enforcing rigorous TPRM and RBAC controls. Quadruple ISACA-certified with validated cloud security expertise (CCSP exam passed Jan 2026), he routinely acts as an interim CISO/auditor to inject an “external auditor’s eye” into governance gaps. Notably, he has validated cryptographic key lifecycles for safety-critical ETCS train-to-track authentication and designed AI governance controls including FRIA for GP-AI adoption. Available for global security transformation mandates, he blends regulator-grade compliance rigor with hands-on engineering recovery experience.
