Ivo Dijkhuis

Based in Amsterdam

I work as Senior Information Security Officer for the RIPE NCC. Before that, I worked for several Internet related companies in various technical and security related roles. I'm interested in all aspects of information security and privacy, which includes a wide range of topic from information security frameworks (ISO 27001, CSC-20), cloud security, incident response, intrusion detection, OSINT, digital forensics to GDPR. My guilty pleasure? Doing hands-on 'hacking' and digital forensic challenges.
