Enrique Gallardo
Last position:
Security Architect at Capgemini
I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

About the technology
What Barracuda covers
Barracuda is a security product family used to protect email, web traffic, applications, and network edges. It is common in environments that need spam filtering, phishing defense, firewall control, web application protection, backup, and secure remote access. Many teams also know it through Barracuda Networks and CloudGen Firewall.
Typical work
- Email security and threat filtering
- Web application firewall setup
- Firewall policy and VPN design
- Backup, archiving, and recovery planning
- SD-WAN and cloud edge protection
Skills that matter
Strong specialists know how Barracuda fits into a wider security stack. They work with DNS, mail flow, certificates, identity providers, routing, logging, and incident handling. They also understand how to balance protection rules with day-to-day user access so security stays usable.
When companies bring in freelancers
Teams usually look for freelance Barracuda experts during new rollouts, mail migrations, firewall refreshes, or after security incidents. They are also useful when rules need cleanup, alerts are noisy, or older Barracuda setups must be documented and stabilized. In Germany, they often support mixed on-site and remote work.
What strong professionals do
- Read logs and trace blocked traffic or mail issues
- Tune policies without opening security gaps
- Migrate settings between environments cleanly
- Document the setup for internal teams
- Coordinate with network, mail, and security specialists
Good fit signals
Companies should look for hands-on experience with the exact Barracuda product in use, not just general security knowledge. A good specialist can explain trade-offs, show how they tested changes, and describe how they handled incidents, upgrades, or integrations. Clear thinking matters as much as tool knowledge.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Barracuda? These answers cover the essentials.
Barracuda is used to protect email, web applications, and network access. In practice, that means spam and phishing filtering, firewall policy control, VPN access, backup, and web protection. It is often part of the security layer around Microsoft 365, internal applications, and remote work access.
Barracuda is the common product name people use, while Barracuda Networks is the vendor name many searchers still type. CloudGen Firewall is one of the best-known product lines inside that ecosystem. When you hire a specialist, make sure they know the exact device or service you run, because the tasks differ by product.
Barracuda is often chosen for practical email security, web filtering, and firewall protection in one vendor ecosystem. Compared with a patchwork of separate tools, it can be simpler to manage when the team wants one place for policies and alerts. The trade-off is that the specialist should know how to integrate it cleanly with the rest of your stack.
A strong Barracuda specialist usually also knows DNS, SMTP mail flow, TLS certificates, identity and access management, routing, and log analysis. For web and firewall work, they should understand ports, NAT, VPNs, and traffic inspection. Those skills help them diagnose issues without guessing.
Barracuda work can be straightforward for a simple policy change, but migrations, email protection redesigns, or firewall rebuilds need someone with deep hands-on practice. The real test is whether the specialist has worked on the same product family in production. Ask for examples that match your setup, not just general security claims.
Most Barracuda tasks can be handled remotely, especially rule changes, mail flow checks, logging, and documentation. On-site help can still matter for hardware installs, network trace work, or coordination with local teams. In Germany, many companies prefer a hybrid setup with remote delivery and on-site time for critical changes.
Look for a Barracuda specialist who can explain the change plan, expected impact, rollback steps, and validation checks. Good professionals show how they tested mail delivery, blocked traffic, or access rules after the change. They also leave clear documentation so your internal team can maintain the setup.
Ask which Barracuda products they have worked on, what problems they solved, and how they handled upgrades, incidents, or migrations. If your environment includes Microsoft 365, legacy mail gateways, or a specific firewall model, check that they have seen the same integration path. That tells you whether they can start quickly or need time to learn the setup.
