Alexander Graefe
Senior Cybersecurity Consultant & Advisor

Based in Apokoronas, Crete, I've spent 20+ years at the intersection of cybersecurity technology and business — from hands-on technical consulting to leading distributed teams across the DACH region. My focus has always been on closing the gap between security complexity and real-world outcomes: vendor-independent advice, measurable results, and building the kind of trust that makes clients come back.

// the name

Γραφείο (grafeio) is Greek for "desk" or "office" — and yes, it's a nod to my last name. The .IT plays along too: Italy's country code on paper, but read plainly it's just what I do for a living. Before relocating to Crete in 2022, I spent most of my career based in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Once I got here, the pun was too good to pass up: this is the desk where the work actually happens. These days that desk is usually this one — coffee included — connecting with clients across the DACH region from a quiet corner of the Mediterranean.
