Summary
🤩
RockstarWinfried Neessen is a Director of Information Security with over 19 years in e-commerce and a decade of formal InfoSec leadership, blending deep UNIX and network security expertise with hands-on operations. He has led security and network architecture at Cleverbridge while also serving as the company’s appointed information security officer and running his own webhosting and open-source projects. Technically fluent across *BSD, Linux, Solaris, Apache/nginx, F5, Postfix, MySQL/PostgreSQL/Oracle, pf/iptables and OpenVPN, he is an active Go and Perl developer who crafts everything from one-liners to large web services and microservices. Comfortable bridging compliance (PCI-DSS, ISAE 3402/SSAE16) and engineering, he turns audit requirements into practical, auditable controls. Based in Cologne, he pairs pragmatic operational leadership with a collector’s curiosity—music-lover and record-collector—bringing both discipline and long-term taste to security programs.
