Background

About Robert Kominka

I've spent years securing factories and critical infrastructure. I took the long route into OT security – spent a decade building PLCs and SCADA systems first. Turns out hands-on experience with how industrial systems actually work makes a big difference when you're trying to secure them. What I do-||- Secure industrial control systems and OT networks -||- Deploy security tools (Claroty, Nozomi, Armis, Dragos)-||- Design network segmentation and implement IEC 62443, NIST standards -||- Teach OT security, presales consulting, technical training -||- Still build automation systems when needed – yes, old habits die hard :) Tech I work with-()- PLCs (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Beckhoff), SCADA/MES platforms -()- Splunk, Kali Linux, red/blue team simulations -()- C#(Visual Studio), Rust, Python, and ESP-IDF for embedded systems Comfortable in boots on the ground in the field and on catwalks. Good at explaining complex security stuff to plant managers, engineers, and C-suite folks alike. Equally comfortable discussing OT threats over cold beer in a pub – sometimes the best conversations happen there. Available for freelance. Will travel. Not afraid of people or hard problems.
