Biography of ir. Paul Bakker
Leading expert in the area of Cyber Security
"The technological advances of the last decade offer countless possibilities and risks to our society as a whole, enterprises and people individually. I think it's important for anyone to gain insight into this new threat environment."
Paul Bakker is an expert in the area of digital security. His passionate and outspoken interest focuses mainly on the threats and opportunities of the internet. His experience ranges from the regular threats of identity theft and social engineering to the Bond-like scenarios, such as cyber security and digital espionage.
With the rise of the Internet new risks have popped up that affect everybody and most people are not familiar with these new threats. Not being aware of these risks makes it hard to protect yourself from the consequences. Through Paul's speeches you can explore this new reality and better understand the dangers. It ultimately increases your fighting chances in the process.
Paul talks about the risks introduced by the internet, about the gathering of huge amounts of private data on everybody, about the world of cyber crime as well as the new battlefield where nations prepare for cyber warfare.
One of the important issues he addresses are the traces we leave behind on the Internet. Every action we take on the Internet leaves a digital fingerprint. These fingerprints can be used to make a profile of us and our actions. Have you ever wondered which traces you leave on the Internet and how anonymous you are? Even when you use special anonymizing software it's very difficult to stay truly anonymous. Learn more about your digital signature, staying anonymous and the economy behind your digital information.
The second issue he dives into is the world of cyber crime. The cyber crime economy is growing at a frantic pace and Paul provides insight into this world of cyber criminals and their modus operandi. He'll show you how control is gained of your digital systems by using so-called drive-by downloads and targeted attacks and how the underground economy siphons money from your account and steals your documents. Take this opportunity to learn how social networks and social engineering are used and abused to gather information, gain trust and ultimately compromise your organization network.
Finally Paul ventures into the world of cyber war. This world encompases governments that are building up digital armies to defend and attack each others critical infrastructures. This area touches us all. Paul shows why this suddenly has become such a hot topic, how a digital army operates and how the perfect digital attack looks like. Of course Paul also shares what governments can do to defend their national infrastructures from these threats.
Paul is able to talk about a broad spectrum of topics related to the new digital technologies of the world. He gained his experience during years of advising governments and law enforcement agencies on topics of national security and digital espionage in functions at Fox-IT and his own enterprise Offspark.
On the topics described above Paul has been a speaker on conferences, radio and TV with audiences ranging from government officials to groups of hackers and the general public.
