Michael Von Koczian

As a MSc in physics and former Senior Cyber Security Consultant for a Managed Service Provider I specialize as a freelancer for offensive security consulting projects and security assessments for small and medium sized businesses. I am experienced in Blue and Red Team projects as project manager as well as a security engineer with technical „hands-on“ experience.

My Portfolio of services:

- External & Internal penetration tests

- External & Internal Vulnerability Scans

- Active Directory Security Assessments

- OSINT & Social Engineering Campaigns

- Awareness Trainings & Courseware development

- Security Consulting

My mission is to create value for my clients. Rather than using cookie-cutter approaches and treating security as a box ticking exercise, my methodology uses real -world methods, manual techniques paired with verified output from professional automated tools to deliver reports that give engineers all the information they need to understand and classify security findings while enabling senior managers to make informed decisions.

Being bilingual German / English I accept projects in both English and German language. For technical reports, my preferred language is English although reports can be written in German on request.

A selection of projects I have worked on:

- Regular project management and execution of penetration tests, vulnerability and security - assessments

- Regular project management and execution of OSINT and social engineering campaigns

- Security Engineer and Consultant for a FinTech assessing and redefining cyber security bottom-up from a technical and GRC view

- Team Lead for the production of university level courseware

Daily / hourly rates depend on complexity and duration of project. Projects can be discussed on short notice or scheduled up to 3 month in advance.
