IGASIX stands for holistic information security and is the brand of me, İrfan Gani Altıok. As a cyber security engineer and consultant, I have more than a decade of industry experience. During my studies of electrical engineering and IT security at the Ruhr-University Bochum, I worked as a freelancer and managed my first projects in this field. This was followed by five exciting years as a consultant at a German technology company focussing on information security in the public sector within the EU. I then worked very successfully for six years, including in the role of manager and authorised signatory, in the cyber security division of an international auditing and consulting company until I decided to found IGASIX. My work gives me a very deep insight into areas that are significantly relevant to the system. I am all the more pleased to be able to combine my technical and conceptual skills to always successfully achieve sustainable benefits for my clients.
