Founder History

The Origins of LumeSec Technologies e.U. and Marcus' Journey

From Passion to Profession: A Commitment to Design, Security & Technology

Marcus Ziegler’s passion for technology began early — well before his professional career. Even as a child, he was exploring how software worked, writing small tools, and experimenting with automation. One thing set him apart early on: his obsession with user experience.

While most desktop applications looked the same, Marcus was focused on building UI-rich applications that felt modern, intuitive, and polished—long before design became a mainstream priority. Back when Windows Forms dominated the scene, he was already customizing interfaces, exploring design tools, and pushing the boundaries of what software could feel like.

Over the years, that early passion grew into a technical skillset focused on secure, scalable, and human-centric systems. From software security and cryptography to DevSecOps and API design—Marcus developed a rare combination of engineering depth and product intuition that would shape everything he built after.

Experience That Shapes Perspective

Over the years, Marcus worked hands-on in the fintech and infrastructure space, where digital security and regulation are non-negotiable. He led complex transformation initiatives—from securing banking APIs under strict regulatory regimes to building out cloud-native DevSecOps pipelines and global team structures.

Across projects, a core belief took root:
Security is not a feature. It’s a mindset.
It should live in architecture, in process, in people.

The Problem: A Gap Between Tech, Security & Strategy

While many companies were accelerating their digital roadmaps, few had the resources or leadership to bring business goals, compliance, and cybersecurity into alignment. The result? Friction, risk, and missed opportunities. Marcus saw the need for something different:

  • A partner that understands both the architecture and the audit.
  • A builder who can speak the language of developers, CISOs, and regulators alike.

The Solution: LumeSec Technologies e.U.

With this vision, Marcus founded LumeSec Technologies e.U. A company designed from day one to sit at the intersection of:

  • Cybersecurity – embedded from the first line of code to the last line of defense
  • AI & Automation – making security smarter, faster, more adaptive
  • FinTech & Cloud – deep knowledge of secure APIs, financial infrastructure, and compliance
  • IoT & Smart Living – extending trust into the connected home and beyond

LumeSec helps ambitious, security-conscious organizations move faster—without breaking things. Marcus leads LumeSec with a simple but powerful purpose:

  • To help businesses stay ahead of threats, unlock the power of AI, and build with confidence.
  • For the ambitious and the vigilant.
