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 it covers
Threat Intelligence, often called TI or cyber threat intelligence, helps teams understand who is attacking, how they operate, and what to watch for next. It turns raw signals into usable context for security operations, incident response, and risk decisions.
Typical work
- Curating threat feeds and indicators of compromise
- Mapping attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures
- Writing intelligence reports for security teams and leadership
- Supporting detection engineering and alert tuning
- Tracking brand abuse, phishing, and credential theft
Tooling and sources
Strong specialists work across open-source intelligence, commercial feeds, SIEMs, TIPs, and case management tools. They also know how to validate sources, reduce noise, and connect signals from malware analysis, sandbox results, and dark web monitoring.
When to bring help
Companies usually need freelance expertise when threat data is piling up faster than internal teams can process it. It also helps during incident investigations, MSSP handovers, new intelligence programs, or when a Germany-based team needs short-term support with English-language reporting and stakeholder updates.
What strong specialists do
Good professionals do more than collect indicators. They assess confidence, write for action, and link intelligence to controls such as blocking, hunting, detection rules, and response playbooks.
Common signs
- You have feeds but no clear priorities
- Analysts spend too much time on manual triage
- Alerts lack context for action
- Reports are technical but not decision-ready
- You need support for a new CTI process or team
Frequently asked questions
Everything clients usually want to know about Threat Intelligence, in one place.
Threat Intelligence is used to turn external and internal security signals into decisions. Teams use it to spot likely attacks, prioritize alerts, improve detections, and support incident response with context instead of guesses.
Yes, in most hiring discussions these terms refer to the same field. Threat Intelligence is the broad term, while threat intel and CTI are common shorthand used by security teams, vendors, and practitioners.
Threat Intelligence is not a replacement for SIEM or EDR. SIEM and EDR collect and act on security data, while intelligence explains which threats matter, what behavior to look for, and how to tune controls around them.
A strong Threat Intelligence specialist usually understands OSINT, malware basics, incident response, and detection engineering. Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, phishing analysis, SIEM platforms, and report writing is also valuable.
It depends on the scope. A feed cleanup or reporting task can be handled quickly by an experienced Threat Intelligence professional, while a full program needs someone who can build processes, define standards, and work with security operations and leadership.
Yes. Most Threat Intelligence work can be done remotely because the core tasks are analysis, writing, and coordination. On-site work only matters when a team needs close support with sensitive investigations, stakeholder workshops, or internal process design.
Look for clear judgment, not just tool knowledge. A strong Threat Intelligence expert explains source quality, confidence levels, and why an indicator or actor matters, then turns that into actions your team can use.
Common deliverables include intelligence summaries, threat actor profiles, indicator lists, detection guidance, and briefings for technical and non-technical stakeholders. In mature teams, Threat Intelligence work may also include process documentation and support for threat hunting or triage workflows.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Threat Intelligence in their recent projects is 96 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 767 € based on an 8-hour working day.
