I have been speaking in events since 2009, and I was delivering undergraduate and postgraduate classes in Computer Science, Network Application programming and Security from 2001 to 2006.

Most of my presentations are posted in this blog, although I may have forgotten / lost some.

If you want me to talk in your event about security and risk management, feel free to send me a mail. My contact details are here.

The message won't be visible but I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please add location, dates and contact details.

In 2016 I was lucky enough to be able to present at the (ISC)2 SecureNetherlands event in Amsterdam titled "Securing the Virtual Organization". The event had a high number of attendants, more than I expected. The weather was wonderful, and the event was taking place at the Greenest building in the world, the Edge where Deloitte is placed.
