Alexander Viftrup Andersen

Tech Lead & Security Systems Engineer

📧 alex@viftrup.eu • 🔗 LinkedIn

I’m Alexander, a systems engineer with a deep passion for networking, cybersecurity, and the ever‑evolving world of modern technology. I thrive on exploring new trends, breaking down complex concepts, and turning them into something practical and understandable.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of security technologies, giving me a solid foundation in both the theoretical and hands‑on aspects of cybersecurity. I have a particular love with Cisco’s security solutions, and I’m constantly expanding my expertise in that space.

What truly motivates me is sharing knowledge - whether it’s helping colleagues level up or guiding customers through the challenges of building secure, resilient infrastructures. This blog is my space to reflect, experiment, and pass on what I learn along the way.
