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
Offensive security
Metasploit is an open-source penetration testing framework used to validate vulnerabilities in controlled environments. The Metasploit Framework combines exploit modules, payloads, encoders, auxiliary tools and post-exploitation features. Teams use it to assess whether a weakness can lead to meaningful access or impact.
Core capabilities
Strong Metasploit specialists plan authorised tests, select modules carefully and adapt payloads to the target environment. They document assumptions, evidence and remediation steps rather than treating exploitation as an isolated technical exercise. Their work can support web, network, endpoint, cloud and embedded security assessments.
Ecosystem and tooling
Metasploit integrates with common security workflows, including Nmap discovery, vulnerability scanners, session management tools and reporting systems. The framework is commonly used through msfconsole, RPC interfaces and custom modules. Rapid7 maintains the commercial Metasploit Pro offering, while the open-source Metasploit Framework remains central to hands-on testing.
- Exploit validation and proof-of-concept testing
- Payload and handler configuration
- Custom module development
- Session analysis and post-exploitation review
When expertise matters
Companies bring in freelance Metasploit expertise when an internal team needs an independent assessment, a complex vulnerability requires safe reproduction or a red team needs additional capacity. German organisations may also value specialists who can collaborate remotely across security, infrastructure and compliance teams, or join on-site engagements when testing requires local coordination.
Deliverables and safeguards
A professional engagement should produce a clear scope, test plan, evidence package and remediation report. Specialists establish authorisation boundaries before testing and use isolated infrastructure, controlled payloads and agreed communication channels. They explain business impact without overstating what a single exploit proves.
What sets experts apart
The strongest professionals understand Metasploit as part of a broader security practice, not as a collection of ready-made exploits. They can read vulnerability details, write or modify Ruby modules, troubleshoot network paths and interpret operating-system behaviour. They also know when manual validation, alternative tooling or a non-exploitative test is safer and more informative.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Metasploit? These answers cover the essentials.
Metasploit is used to validate security vulnerabilities through authorised penetration tests and controlled proof-of-concept activity. Teams use the framework to assess exploitability, demonstrate potential impact and guide remediation. It can support network, endpoint, web application and selected cloud security work.
Metasploit Framework is a broad exploitation and post-exploitation framework, while tools such as Nmap focus more on discovery and scanners focus on identifying likely vulnerabilities. It is often used alongside those tools rather than as a replacement for them. A strong specialist chooses the least disruptive method that produces reliable evidence.
A capable Metasploit specialist should understand networking, Linux and Windows internals, vulnerability research, scripting and secure reporting. Familiarity with Nmap, Burp Suite, vulnerability scanners, Active Directory and cloud identity controls is also valuable. Knowledge of Ruby helps when adapting or creating framework modules.
The right level of Metasploit Framework experience depends on the scope, target systems and risk tolerance. Basic validation may need focused module knowledge, while a red team exercise or custom exploit workflow requires deeper skills in operating systems, payload behaviour and evidence handling. Prior work on comparable environments matters more than framework familiarity alone.
Yes, Metasploit engagements can often be performed remotely when the client provides secure access to an approved test environment and clear communication procedures. On-site work may be useful for segmented networks, physical access checks or close coordination with German security and infrastructure teams. The scope must define systems, timing and escalation contacts before testing begins.
Before engaging a Metasploit professional, define written authorisation, target ranges, exclusions, test windows and rules for handling sensitive findings. Access details, environment diagrams and existing vulnerability information can improve preparation. The specialist should also know how reports will be reviewed and how urgent issues will be escalated.
Good Metasploit work is reproducible, scoped and tied to a clear security conclusion. Review whether the report separates confirmed evidence from assumptions, explains business impact and gives practical remediation guidance. A quality specialist can also explain why a module was selected and what its limitations are.
Rapid7 Metasploit is not the right choice for every assessment or every target. Some findings are better validated through configuration review, manual testing, code analysis or safer non-exploitative checks. Experienced professionals use Metasploit where it adds defensible evidence and avoid unnecessary disruption.
