Milan Půlkrábek
I remember computers without the internet, the internet without Google, and mobile communication without encryptionTurning data into a form that cannot be understood without the right key. More. So I have had enough time to watch technology become something our work, money, privacy and reputation depend on.
I have been working in IT for more than twenty years. I deal with security, Linux servers, web applications, cryptocurrencies, privacy and the practical impact of new technologies.
I help people and companies find weak spots in their applications, accounts, infrastructure and everyday operations. Sometimes that means a pentest. Sometimes a configuration review. Sometimes a conversation that reveals the biggest risk is not a hacker in a hoodie, but a badly configured access rule, a missing backup or a forgotten service nobody owns anymore.
I take security practically. Not as a collection of acronyms and certificates, but as a way to reduce risk, protect data and avoid making attackers’ lives easier than necessary.
I am a former member of the leadership team of Paralelní Polis, known for its world’s first bitcoin-only café, hackerspace culture, focus on digital freedom and technology education.

From Network Security Engineer in multinational corporation to Head of Security in a crypto company. And ten years of cybersecurity experience in between.
I am a security generalist with common sense and no fear of using it.
What distinguishes me from other security folks? The competency to explain security concepts in simple terms, the never ceasing keenness to find balance between security risk mitigation and business enablement and the ability to navigate complex high pressure situations with a cool head.
