Carsten Hagedorn Midtgaard

‎

Carsten is an experienced infrastructure architect with broad knowledge of Microsoft technologies, especially when it comes to vulnerability management, hardening / securing existing environments and designing new.

In addition to Microsoft, Carsten can help with design, setup and operation of products such as Cisco ESA, security regarding email in general incl. user awareness, Rapid7 vulnerability management and some of the products on the ManageEngine portfolio. He also has some experience with SIEM.

I am an operational Microsoft infrastructure architect with a focus on security and good understanding of contexts, I know which tools to use, when and how to use them in the best possible way. I thrive in the tension field between technology and people.

In my work at Norlys, both internally and externally, I have been primary stakeholder in designing and securing the on-prem Microsoft platform for approx. 5,000 users in relation to application control, patch & vulnerability management and user- & device management.

I am certain the tools I have learned to use in one place to a large extent can be used elsewhere – and I would like to help you with that. This must be done in an understanding of the existing environments. How can we increase safety without disrupting operations - that is essential. Safety and operations go hand in hand.
