# Digital security.
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.

### Hacker becomes bank manager (by accident), and anti-scam tricks

### A hacker's story
Payment terminals behind the counter, a lift with its admin panel open to the internet and a form that happily accepted minus 1.2 billion kroner. Real findings from an ethical hacker, and what they say about the threats we live with now.

## Pentesting and ethical hacking
I simulate real attacks against your company's systems to find the vulnerabilities before anyone else does. You get a thorough report that doesn't just point out the weaknesses, but shows exactly how to close every gap, prioritised by risk.
- ✓Web applications, APIs, internal infrastructure
- ✓Social engineering and phishing tests
- ✓Clear report with a technical and a manager-friendly summary
- ✓Re-test included once you've patched

About me
## I've been at this since I was 14.
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.

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.
The talk Daniel gave for us at Big Bite of Tech, in a packed room of 195 participants, was the most popular talk of the entire programme, with a feedback score of 4.91/5.
There are few Norwegian technologists who manage to make their field fun for others to hear about. \[…] Daniel makes security fun, and I am certain that is extremely important for getting people to care.
