Summary
Ingo Hanke is a Technical Manager for IT-Security with over 25 years in software and nearly a decade focused on cybersecurity for energy systems, currently securing inverters and energy management platforms at SMA Solar Technology. He combines a strong physics research background (Dr. rer. nat., Dipl.Phys.) with hands-on B2B product security expertise, turning early encounters with software vulnerabilities into a long-standing vocation. His work spans threat modeling, cyber risk assessment, conformity testing, regulatory and standards analysis (IEC 62443, EN 303645, EU CRA, IEEE 1547.3, etc.), and the creation of internal security policies for cyber-physical and IIoT systems. Active in industry bodies (OWASP, ISACA, SunSpec, DIN/DKE, ZVEI, CEN/CENELEC), he bridges technical teams, customers, and regulators to make defense-in-depth practical and auditable. Notable is his blend of academic materials research for solar cells and pragmatic security engineering, giving him an unusual perspective on both component-level and grid-level resilience.
