Hi, I’m Chris Kaffer—a cybersecurity professional with over ten years of experience in automation engineering and operational technology (OT). I specialize in safeguarding OT systems and driving innovation in highly regulated industries, focusing on cybersecurity and industrial automation.
Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles in engineering and cybersecurity, collaborating with IT teams and OEMs to design and implement advanced automation solutions. I’ve developed expertise in technologies such as Rockwell Studio 5000, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), FactoryTalk, and AVEVA’s (Wonderware) Workflow MES.
