Security engineering and consulting for teams that need steady hands.

We help organisations design, operate, and recover secure systems — from board-level direction to pipelines and industrial environments.

About

Privacy-driven security, from design to operations

Fisherman Labs s.r.o. has designed, built and secured systems in Prague since 2012. We pair advisory work with hands-on engineering, so recommendations end up as running systems, not shelfware.

Who we are

Fisherman Labs is led by Jakub Rybář, Secure Solution Designer, Architect & Engineer. He has worked in IT operations since 2000 and in security for more than ten years.

That includes leading a SOC analyst shift at a global logistics company, and serving as Cyber Security Architect at a university hospital in Pilsen under Czech cyber-security law. He co-founded and ran GuardIoT, an OT/ICS/IIoT security startup. Later work covered DevSecOps for fintech, crypto and media companies, and CERT/SOAR plus security engineering lead work in the gaming sector.

Certifications: GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) and ITIL Foundation.

Incident-tested GCIH-certified, with SOC shift leadership and CERT/SOAR experience behind it.
Privacy-driven Secure solution design that protects people and data, not just audit checklists.
IT, OT & IoT From cloud, Kubernetes and pipelines to ICS/SCADA and (I)IoT networks.

Selected work, in brief

Highlights from regulated and availability-critical environments. Most client names stay confidential, so we describe the sector instead.

Healthcare · Public sector

Hospital cyber-security architecture

Cyber Security Architect at the university hospital in Pilsen under the Czech Cyber Security Act: security strategy and governance, a current-to-target-state roadmap taken through to stakeholder acceptance, and one incident-handling framework across IT, physical and cyber security teams.

OT/ICS & IoT

Co-founded GuardIoT

Co-founded and led GuardIoT, a Czech OT/ICS/IIoT security startup. It delivered an MVP and two proofs of concept with Central European municipalities for continuous vulnerability assessment of camera networks.

Logistics

SOC shift leadership

Led an InfoSec analyst shift in the SOC/CDC of a global logistics company: second-level incident handling on the SIEM, security use-case development and a MISP threat-intelligence lab.

Fintech · Crypto · Media · Gaming

DevSecOps and CERT/SOAR

Secure CI/CD and SSDLC baselines, Zero Trust-based risk and threat management, and incident response service design for crypto/fintech and media companies. In gaming: DevSecOps and CERT/SOAR subject-matter expert and security engineering lead.
