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 Splunk does
Splunk collects machine data from apps, servers, cloud services, and security tools, then makes it searchable and usable. It is used for observability, security monitoring, and operations work where fast log analysis matters. Strong specialists know how to shape noisy data into answers teams can act on.
Common projects
- Search dashboards for operations and support teams
- Alerting for failures, anomalies, and incidents
- Security use cases in Splunk Enterprise Security
- Log onboarding and data model work
- Splunk Cloud Platform migration or cleanup
Skills that matter
Good Splunk professionals know SPL, field extraction, sourcetype design, and index planning. They also understand data onboarding, permissions, saved searches, and how to keep searches efficient. Many bring adjacent skills in Linux, cloud platforms, networking, and incident response.
When companies bring in help
Teams usually look for freelance expertise when deployments grow messy, searches become slow, or alert noise makes Splunk hard to trust. In Hamburg, this often comes up in logistics, maritime, retail, and enterprise IT environments that need clean monitoring across mixed systems. Remote work is common, but on-site sessions help when log sources and security workflows need close review.
Ecosystem and editions
Splunk is often discussed alongside Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise Security, and Splunk SOAR. A strong specialist knows when to stay with core search and dashboards and when to extend into security automation or cloud-managed operations. They also know how add-ons, apps, and field extractions affect maintainability.
What strong specialists deliver
The best professionals do more than write searches. They document source setup, reduce false alerts, improve dashboard clarity, and leave searches that others can support later. They also explain tradeoffs clearly, so teams can keep using Splunk without depending on one person for every change.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Splunk? Start with the answers below.
Splunk is used to collect and search machine data such as logs, events, and metrics from systems, applications, and security tools. Companies use it for troubleshooting, monitoring, and security analysis when they need quick answers from large volumes of operational data.
Splunk can do both. Many teams use it for operations monitoring and dashboards, while others rely on Splunk Enterprise Security for threat detection, investigation, and compliance reporting.
Splunk is often chosen when teams want a mature search experience, rich apps, and broad enterprise features. Elastic is a common alternative for search and observability, but the better choice depends on existing skills, data sources, and whether the focus is operations, security, or both.
A strong Splunk specialist usually knows Linux, networking basics, cloud platforms, and security operations. Experience with log formats, regex, JSON, and access control also helps because these shape how data is onboarded and searched.
A Splunk project can be small if you only need a few dashboards or alerts, but bigger environments need someone who understands ingestion, data models, and search performance. If the project touches security or production incident response, you want a specialist who has worked with real operational data before.
Yes, Splunk work often fits remote collaboration well because searches, dashboards, and configuration can be reviewed online. On-site time in Hamburg can still help when teams need to inspect log sources, align with security stakeholders, or map complex system flows.
With Splunk, quality shows up in clean data onboarding, readable searches, useful dashboards, and alerts that do not create noise. Good specialists also document sourcetypes, field extractions, and ownership so the setup stays maintainable after handover.
Splunk Enterprise is usually run in environments that want more direct control over the deployment. Splunk Cloud Platform shifts more of the operational burden to the vendor, which can simplify administration when a company prefers managed infrastructure.
