Albert Zenkoff
Security engineer and architect with 30+ years across Alcatel, Sony, Software AG, and Toyota. Started in embedded systems and telecom, moved through R&D, senior management, and back to engineering by choice.
Co-invented Near Field Communication (NFC) and authored 5 international standards for ISO, ECMA, and ETSI. Built enterprise security programs from zero twice, for Sony FeliCa and for Software AG (1500+ engineers, 100+ products). Patent holder in applied security automation, with a second patent pending for hermetic build systems.
I work across the full stack of security: application security, embedded systems, cryptography, supply chain, cloud infrastructure, and vulnerability management. My background in both engineering and management means I operate at the architecture level and at the policy level, whichever the problem requires.
