Background

About Besnet George

I help organizations build secure, scalable, and future-ready IT and IoT strategies that bridge the gap between operations and innovation. With a background in cybersecurity (CISM) and a hands-on approach to OT/IT convergence, I focus on reducing risk while unlocking the value of connected systems — from smart buildings to multi-site enterprise networks. What I bring to the table: Designing secure network infrastructures (Zero Trust, SD-WAN, Wi-Fi 6/6E) tailored for complex, distributed environments Integrating IoT and RTLS platforms boost operational visibility and decision-making Establishing governance and compliance practices grounded in industry leading frameworks Leading cross-functional teams and vendors, ensuring projects stay on track, on budget, and deliver real value Real-world impact: Strengthened cyber resilience across a multi-site environment through network segmentation and phased Zero Trust implementation — lowering risk exposure by an estimated 10–15% Deployed IoT-driven smart building solutions that led to a 15% improvement in space and asset utilization Reduced mean time to recovery (MTTR) by 70% through proactive monitoring and SRE-inspired runbooks Tools & Certifications: CISM | SD-WAN | IoT/RTLS | Zero Trust | MQTT | Cisco/Meraki | Azure/AWS IoT | ICS Security
