I’m Barış Konağ, a cybersecurity professional dedicated to securing next-generation complex systems.

Whether it is a connected vehicle, a handheld or an IoT device, I believe true security is a fundamental requirement for the digital age. It is more than a compliance checkbox or an afterthought; it is the foundation upon which trust is built.

These principles form my compass, guiding every system I defend and secure:

• Digital Sovereignty
• Defense in Depth
• Zero Trust & Least Privilege
• Security & Privacy by Design

To live by my values, I self-host my core digital infrastructure. This serves as a personal laboratory where I experiment, validate security hardening, and ensure my digital life remains under my own control and protected.
