Bug Bounty Supply Chain Security Data Breaches Vulnerability Lifecycle Cyber Book

I have worked on both offensive and defensive sides of Cyber Security and have a history of explaining and anticipating emerging cyber threats and solutions. I am based in Switzerland, with previous experience in Denmark, the U.S., and France.

I work for SDX Security and teach Cyber Security at ETH Zurich. In the past I worked for Accenture Security, Swisscom, NSS Labs, Secunia, and ISS X-Force.

Teaching Cyber Security at ETH Zurich is a formidable and rewarding activity that forces me to convey complexity using concise thoughts and understandable language.

Aviation, both fixed-wing and helicopter, is my passion, and I find inspiration in its relentless pursuit of safety and security in a demanding environment.
