Enrique G.
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 McAfee covers
McAfee is a security software ecosystem for protecting devices, identities and data from malware, phishing, ransomware and other online threats. In business settings, specialists use McAfee endpoint products to apply security policies, monitor events and support incident response. Consumer products such as McAfee Antivirus and McAfee Total Protection belong to the same wider vendor ecosystem.
Endpoint protection
McAfee endpoint work centres on controlling how laptops, desktops and servers handle suspicious files, processes, websites and connections. Professionals configure prevention policies, real-time scanning, web protection, firewall controls and device compliance rules. They also tune exclusions carefully so security does not disrupt essential business applications.
- Deploy and maintain endpoint security policies
- Investigate malware detections and suspicious behaviour
- Coordinate updates, exclusions and device groups
- Connect endpoint events with wider security operations
Ecosystem and tooling
Projects may involve McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, commonly known as McAfee ePO, for central administration and reporting. Depending on the environment, specialists also work with MVISION products, Trellix technologies, Microsoft Defender, SIEM tools and identity services. Strong knowledge of Windows, macOS, Linux, networking and scripting helps them automate recurring controls and interpret alerts in context.
When companies need support
Companies bring in freelance McAfee professionals during rollouts, migrations, audits, incident investigations and security policy changes. This is useful when internal teams need focused expertise without committing to a permanent role. In Germany, specialists may support distributed teams remotely or work on site where regulated operations and local coordination require it.
- Replace outdated endpoint configurations
- Prepare security controls for an audit
- Reduce false positives without weakening protection
- Document policies, incidents and operational procedures
What strong specialists deliver
A capable specialist starts with the company’s risks, devices, users and existing controls rather than applying a generic template. They define practical policies, test changes in stages and document rollback steps. They can explain why an alert matters, separate a real compromise from noise and hand over a maintainable configuration to the internal team.
Choosing the right professional
Look for evidence of hands-on work with the relevant McAfee products, endpoint estates and incident workflows. Ask how the professional would handle exclusions, policy inheritance, disconnected devices and escalation paths. Clear communication matters as much as product knowledge, especially when security teams, infrastructure groups and business users must coordinate across Germany and remote locations.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about McAfee.
Companies use McAfee to protect endpoints against malware, ransomware, phishing and unsafe network activity. Professionals also use its management tools to enforce policies, review detections, investigate incidents and report on device security.
McAfee and Microsoft Defender can both provide endpoint prevention, detection and policy management. The better choice depends on the existing Microsoft environment, required integrations, operational workflows and the level of central control the company needs.
A strong McAfee specialist usually understands endpoint administration, Windows security, networking, identity controls and incident response. Experience with SIEM platforms, PowerShell, vulnerability management and compliance documentation is also valuable.
The right level of experience depends on the scope, device estate and risk profile. A McAfee professional handling a policy review may need a different background from one leading a migration, major incident investigation or integration with security operations.
Much McAfee administration can be performed remotely through central management consoles, secure access and documented change processes. On-site work can still help with disconnected devices, sensitive environments, rollout coordination or teams that prefer German-language collaboration.
McAfee ePO, short for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, remains important in environments that use it for central endpoint administration and reporting. A specialist should first assess the current product estate, since some organizations may be evaluating migration paths involving Trellix or other security tools.
Ask a McAfee professional to explain a realistic policy change, alert investigation and rollback plan. Strong answers cover testing, exclusions, evidence, communication and measurable operational outcomes without weakening protection.
McAfee Enterprise was separated from the consumer McAfee business and its enterprise security portfolio became associated with Trellix. Professionals should clarify which product names, consoles and responsibilities a project uses before assessing the required expertise.
