Summary
Santiago Figueroa Lorenzo is a Senior Industrial Cybersecurity Engineer at Siemens Gamesa and an associated lecturer at TECNUN with eight years of experience bridging academic research and industrial practice in IIoT security. He holds a PhD in Applied Engineering (cum laude) focused on distributed identity and access management for industrial environments and has led research on blockchain for IIoT and threat detection at CEIT. Santiago teaches secure communications and PKI fundamentals, has interned with The Linux Foundation, and combines hands-on engineering with curriculum design to shape secure software development lifecycles. Based in the Basque Country, he blends telecommunications roots (CUJAE, CCNA, LTE/5G training) with applied cybersecurity, and publishes technical analyses and code through his GitHub and Medium profiles. An interesting facet: he moves fluidly between roles as researcher, lecturer, and practitioner, applying academic rigor to solve real-world ICS security problems.
