Made simple.
For everyone. I give talks about digital security, from people who have never thought about it to developers who do it for a living. For companies, schools and conferences across Norway, in Norwegian or English. Entertaining enough that people listen, concrete enough that they change habits the next day.

Most of it hasn't changed. I'm an ethical hacker, meaning I get paid to break into things, so the people who own them can fix the holes before anyone else finds them. First for small companies that weren't allowed to say who I was. Now for larger companies that also aren't allowed to say who I am, and for an audience that is allowed to know. Most of what I talk about is simpler than it sounds. You don't need to be able to code to avoid getting hacked; you just need to know which three things actually matter. That's where I come in. 200+talks since 2018 50,000+in the audience since 2018 4.9 / 5average rating [Read the full story →](https://danielchristensen.no/en/about) ![Cloud illustration](https://danielchristensen.no/_nuxt/cloud-1-stroke.BfBgrHJf.svg)« Daniel combines deep professional expertise with an ability to make complex security topics understandable and engaging for everyone. \[…] I can safely recommend Daniel to any organisation that wants a talk with both professional weight and practical value.
