I advise companies on IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and AI – from secure platforms to AI-assisted software development and AI-assisted IT operations. With more than 20 years of consulting experience and eight years as CTO.
Areas that belong together in practice: whoever is responsible for infrastructure is also responsible for its security – and needs a strategy that supports both and makes sensible use of AI.
IT strategy, architecture decisions and roadmaps – or technical leadership for a limited time when it is missing, changing or being rebuilt.
Zero-trust architectures and SIEM, information security based on BSI IT-Grundschutz and ISO/IEC 27001, requirements from VS-NfD, NIST SP 800-171 and the Cyber Resilience Act – through to software supply chain security.
Data center and operations concepts up to multi-site operations and geo-redundancy; virtualization, Linux and Microsoft platforms, network and firewall architecture, monitoring.
Infrastructure as code with Ansible, GitOps and CI/CD as well as methodical software architecture – so that operations become reproducible, auditable and transferable.
From AI strategy and architecture into operations: AI-assisted software and tool development, AI-assisted IT operations and automation – secure, traceable and sovereign.
Assessment of systems, processes, risks and the regulatory framework.
Target state and measures, prioritised by risk and effort – documented transparently.
Support all the way into operations, hands-on if required: automated, versioned, tested.
Documentation and knowledge transfer so that your team can continue independently.
Recommendations follow your requirements, not partner programmes.
I run my own infrastructure in a data center – I know the concepts I recommend from practice.
Security is part of the architecture, not an afterthought.
I am Lyn Sören Matten – consultant, software architect and former CTO. From 2015 to 2023 I built up an IoT company as co-founder and CTO; before that I was managing director of an industry alliance, and I have been working freelance as lm-consult since 2007.
Today I combine strategic consulting with deep infrastructure and security know-how – from protection requirements analysis to automated rollout.
