Summary
Kim Halavakoski is a cybersecurity leader with 13 years of hands-on experience across security engineering, network and Unix administration, and large-scale projects in ISP and financial environments. As Director of Cybersecurity and Partner at Sofecta and co-founder/CEO of Deductive Labs, he builds and runs MDR, threat hunting, SOC, and logging services while advising on audits and PCI compliance. He blends technical depth—firewalls, SIEMs (Splunk/Elasticsearch), automation with Ansible/Puppet, BGP/OSPF networking and multi-unix platforms—with business-minded security management (CISM, PCI-ISA). Known as a pragmatic “security hacker” with coding skills, he favors automation and measurable policy enforcement to reduce risk at scale. Based in the Åland Islands, he brings an uncommon mix of ISP-grade operational experience and consultancy-oriented productization of security services.
