I'm obsessed with Cyber Security - yeah, you heard that right. The thrill of battling cyber threats keeps my pulse racing and has me continually diving deeper into the rabbit hole. I spent the first 6 years of my career in the fast-paced financial sector in Denmark, where I evolved from being a code-slinging, firewall-jumping techie to a strategic mastermind overseeing broader cyber security incident response aspects.

I'm obsessed with Cyber Security - yeah, you heard that right. The thrill of battling cyber threats keeps my pulse racing and has me continually diving deeper into the rabbit hole. I spent the first 6 years of my career in the fast-paced financial sector in Denmark, where I evolved from being a code-slinging, firewall-jumping techie to a strategic mastermind overseeing broader cyber security incident response aspects. Growing from being an architect of a highly successful incident response team, to becoming the manager of the team in a short time. It was here I became very tightly integrated into the amazing CTI community within the Danish finance sector and spent a year as part of the important CTI committee within Nordic Financial CERT.

Later we received the honour of becoming the first Danish based team to achieve the coveted status of TF-CSIRT certified. A status which reflected the high level competencies across the organisation and team. It was here that I first became introduced to the SIM3 framework and instantly fell in love.
