Cyber Defense Recruitment

Cyber Defense Recruitment is a boutique recruitment consultancy specialising exclusively in information security personnel acquisition. Founded and led by Lutz Eichenhofer, the company fills critical positions in cybersecurity with precision sourcing of specialist and leadership talent. Operating with deep market understanding and absolute discretion, Cyber Defense Recruitment bridges the gap between organisations and the qualified cybersecurity professionals they need to protect their digital infrastructure and comply with evolving regulatory requirements.

The company serves three core customer segments: IT security consultancies requiring high-calibre consultants, auditors and technical specialists such as IAM architects, incident responders and penetration testers; mid-market businesses seeking in-house experts to secure critical infrastructure and meet statutory obligations including the NIS-2 directive; and large corporations needing candidates who navigate complex organisational structures and deliver global security initiatives without the constraints imposed by larger recruitment firms. Cyber Defense Recruitment's expertise spans information security roles including ISMS implementation, SOC operations, ISO 27001 compliance, TISAX certification and DORA regulatory requirements.

Based in Koblenz, Germany, Cyber Defense Recruitment operates throughout the DACH region, leveraging founder Lutz Eichenhofer's extensive background with leading consultancies including Kienbaum, Hays and Henkel. The company differentiates itself through 100 per cent focus on cybersecurity specialisation, GDPR-compliant sourcing processes, local market knowledge of German employment structures and salary expectations, and a commitment to quality over quantity. Every mandate receives personal attention from Lutz Eichenhofer, ensuring candidates are matched on technical merit, cultural fit and organisational alignment rather than mass-distributed CVs.
