Speaker Edward Driehuis

Eward Driehuis, with three decades on the front line of cybersecurity, takes you on a compelling journey through the digital battlefields of the past 30 years. From the first viruses on floppy disks to the geopolitical shockwaves of ransomware NotPetya. He reveals how the Diginotar crisis woke up the Netherlands, how state actors are flexing their digital muscle, and why cyber interference is an existential threat today. With real-life stories, sharp insights and a touch of humour, Eward shows how he - has not only witnessed but also helped shape the evolution of cybercrime.

Eward also casts a sharp glance ahead to the digital cybercrime trends that await us. From a world where hacking gives way to smart login and identity abuse, to our collective confusion about what artificial intelligence really is - and what it is not. He names the growing gap between technology and understanding, where digibetism is no longer an exception, but a societal challenge. What do these shifts mean for our security, autonomy and digital resilience? Eward makes you think - and act.
