Management
Darius Aleškaitis
Head of MB Aldarna and principal consultant
I have worked in IT, networking and electronics since 2001. I started as a network engineer, working with routers, PBX systems and corporate networks, and later designed embedded systems for vehicle tracking and energy management. From 2011 to 2019 I was at UAB Acepro, where I went from chief engineer to CTO/CIO, led the development of a building management ecosystem from the circuit boards up to the servers, and moved the company's infrastructure to the cloud. Over those years, automating everything from private houses to factories, I came to see that what matters is not only the automation but also how secure it is. In 2019 I decided to apply what I knew to security as well, and I have worked through MB Aldarna since.
The security project I remember best is rebuilding the network of a large farm. We split it into isolated segments for internal use, guests, specialised equipment and cameras, and connected the remote sites over IPsec VPN and point-to-point links. Another was a building controller platform with AES encryption, our own protocol and centralised fault monitoring. I have also deployed IoT systems and trained people to use them. Security is more to me than just a job. In times like these, an intruder is much easier to spot when everyone looks after their own devices. Where nobody does, those devices become an open gate into the country's infrastructure.
