Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiels Haugård is an IT Security Architect based in Copenhagen with over two decades of hands-on consulting experience in network and service security. He specializes in designing resilient, service-oriented security architectures and has a track record of building automated, auditable operational systems—most recently tying Ansible, signed git-backed documents, and NetBox as a source of truth to enable network isolation and compliance. His career spans firewall and IDS design, managed security services, heterogeneous system administration, and early work on Denmark’s first CERT and SOC, reflecting deep operational and protocol-level expertise. Pro-active and goal-oriented, he favors prevention via isolation and automation over reactive vulnerability chasing, and he consistently turns complex environments into maintainable, documented services. Notably, he has implemented anti-DDoS self-service and long-running remote management platforms for large Check Point customers, combining pragmatic engineering with strong process automation.
