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
Framework purpose
MITRE ATT&CK is a globally used knowledge base for describing adversary tactics, techniques and procedures. It helps security teams translate real attacker behavior into a common language for threat intelligence, detection engineering, incident response and risk analysis. The framework covers enterprise, mobile and industrial control system environments.
Tactics and techniques
ATT&CK organizes activity by tactical goals such as credential access, discovery, lateral movement, command and control, and exfiltration. Techniques and sub-techniques describe how those goals are achieved, while software, groups and campaigns add useful context. Strong specialists know how to interpret this structure without treating it as a checklist.
Security operations use cases
- Map incidents and threat intelligence to relevant tactics and techniques
- Create detection coverage plans for SIEM, EDR and network telemetry
- Identify gaps in defensive controls and monitoring logic
- Support purple-team exercises and adversary emulation
- Improve incident reports with consistent ATT&CK terminology
The result is a clearer link between observed activity, defensive actions and measurable improvements in security operations.
Ecosystem and tooling
MITRE ATT&CK work often connects with SIEM and SOAR platforms, EDR products, threat intelligence platforms, detection-as-code workflows and security data lakes. Specialists may use ATT&CK Navigator to visualize coverage, while Sigma, YARA, KQL, SPL or vendor-specific query languages support detection content. The right tooling depends on the organization’s telemetry and operating model.
When companies need specialists
Companies bring in freelance expertise when they are building a threat-informed defense program, reviewing detection coverage or preparing for a major incident response exercise. German organizations may need professionals who can collaborate remotely across international teams, work on site with security operations staff, or document findings clearly in English and German. Useful signs include inconsistent technique labels, untested detections and intelligence that does not reach operational teams.
What strong professionals deliver
Experienced MITRE ATT&CK specialists connect framework knowledge with practical security work. They validate mappings against evidence, distinguish a real technique from a weak assumption and explain detection limits honestly. They also understand logging quality, cloud and identity environments, endpoint behavior, incident response processes and the communication needed to turn technical findings into prioritized defensive action.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about MITRE ATT&CK.
MITRE ATT&CK is used to describe how threat actors operate and to connect that behavior with defensive controls. Companies use it for threat intelligence, detection engineering, incident response, security assessments and purple-team planning.
MITRE ATT&CK provides a detailed catalog of adversary behaviors and techniques, while the Cyber Kill Chain presents a broader sequence of attack stages. They can complement each other: ATT&CK supports precise technical mapping, and the Kill Chain helps communicate the overall progression of an intrusion.
A strong MITRE ATT&CK freelancer usually combines framework knowledge with SIEM, EDR, threat intelligence and incident response skills. Experience with detection languages such as Sigma, KQL or SPL, plus scripting and cloud security, can be valuable for turning mappings into working controls.
The right level depends on the outcome. MITRE ATT&CK mapping for a focused incident may need a different specialist than an organization-wide detection strategy, coverage review or adversary emulation program. Define the data sources, environments and deliverables before selecting a professional.
Much MITRE ATT&CK work can be completed remotely when specialists have controlled access to relevant telemetry, documentation and collaboration tools. On-site work may help with sensitive incident response, workshops or security operations integration, while clear English or German documentation should match the team’s needs.
High-quality MITRE ATT&CK mapping is supported by evidence from logs, malware analysis, intelligence or incident records. Reviewers should check whether the selected technique fits the observed behavior, whether alternative interpretations were considered and whether the mapping leads to a useful defensive action.
No. MITRE ATT&CK can help smaller teams prioritize monitoring and communicate security gaps, provided the scope is practical. A specialist can adapt the framework to the organization’s available telemetry, technology stack and risk priorities instead of attempting exhaustive coverage.
Freelancers working with MITRE ATT&CK should clarify the framework version, the relevant domain, available evidence and the expected output. They should also understand the client’s SIEM, EDR, identity and cloud environments, because useful mappings depend on what the organization can actually observe and act on.
