# Rico Komenda
Senior security consultant focused on practical Kubernetes and cloud defense.

## About

Rico Komenda is a senior security consultant who focuses on protecting modern cloud infrastructure. He helps engineering teams lock down complex systems before they become targets.

Setting up Kubernetes is hard enough without security becoming a frantic afterthought. Rico frames cloud defense as a core requirement rather than an add-on. In his talks on Kubernetes security, he breaks down the specific tools, practical setups, and configurations required to keep cloud applications safe without breaking deployments.
