Masseo Winterstetter

Solution Architect

r-tec IT Security GmbH Frankfurt am Main, DE

Background

My path into cybersecurity started with systems integration — building and securing IT infrastructure from the ground up. That hands-on foundation gave me a deep understanding of how networks, endpoints, and services actually work, which today informs every security architecture decision I make.

As a Solution Architect, I design and deploy enterprise security stacks — SIEM, EDR, XDR, and MDR platforms — for organizations that need more than off-the-shelf configurations. I work across vendors like CrowdStrike, Rapid7, Exabeam, and Microsoft, translating complex requirements into implementations that deliver real detection and response capabilities.

When incidents happen, I lead the response. From active ransomware containment to large-scale endpoint migrations, I've managed high-pressure projects where getting it right the first time isn't optional.

How I Work

I approach every engagement with the same principle: security should be practical, not theoretical. That means building detection rules that surface real threats instead of noise, architecting deployments that teams can actually operate, and ensuring every solution scales with the organization it protects.

Whether it's a greenfield SIEM deployment, an endpoint protection overhaul across multiple countries, or integrating a new XDR platform into an existing SOC workflow — I handle it end to end, from initial scoping through delivery and knowledge transfer.
