Pieter Danhieux
Over a decade I saw the same secure coding mistakes being repeated and consultants like me were continually pointing out the problems, but no one was helping developers learn how to fix them, or not make those mistakes again. Learning about security needed to be more relevant and fun for developers and existing training tools were too boring and frankly, not accurate enough.

In 2020, Pieter was recognised as a finalist in the Diversity Champion category for the SC Awards Europe 2020, and was awarded Editor's Choice for Chief Executive Officer of the Year by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine. In 2016, he was No. 80 on the list of Coolest Tech people in Australia (Business Insider), awarded Cyber Security Professional of the Year (AISA - Australian Information Security Association) and is member of the Forbes Technology Council.
Pieter is also a Principal instructor for the SANS Institute teaching military, government and private organisations offensive techniques on how to target and assess organisations, systems and individuals for security weaknesses. He also serves as an advisory board member of NVISO, a cyber security consulting company in Europe. Before starting his own company, Pieter worked at Ernst & Young and BAE Systems. He is also one of the Co-Founders of BruCON, one of the most awesome hacking conferences on this planet.
He started his information security career early in life and obtained the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification as one of the youngest persons ever in Belgium. On his way, he collected a whole range of cyber security certificates (CISA, GCFA, GCIH, GPEN, GWAP) and is currently one of the select few people worldwide to hold the top certification GIAC Security Expert (GSE).
In-depth security training is raising questions in education
While secure coding needs to become a mandatory component of software engineering at the tertiary level, some universities are leading the charge in providing top-notch training and prioritizing security as part of the development process from the very beginning.p
Is Your Security Program Ready for CISA's Cybersecurity Strategic Plan?
The Cybersecurity Strategic Plan pushes major changes to the way most organizations approach cybersecurity, and developers are in a unique position to help achieve those new goals.
Linux 中的 XZ Utils 后门程序指出了更广泛的供应链安全问题，要将其阻止，我们需要的不仅仅是社区精神
在主要 Linux 发行版使用的 XZ Utils 数据压缩库中发现了一个名为 CVE-2024-3094 的严重漏洞，该漏洞是由威胁行为者通过后门程序引入的。这种高严重性问题允许潜在的远程代码执行，对软件构建过程构成重大风险。该漏洞影响了Fedora Rawhide中XZ Utils的早期版本（5.6.0和5.6.1），并紧急呼吁各组织实施补丁。该事件凸显了社区志愿者在维护开源软件方面的关键作用，并凸显了在软件开发生命周期内加强安全措施和访问控制的必要性。
