Dutch Cyber Security Council Visits Security Delta (HSD)

Demonstrating Impact and Innovation

After the conversation in the boardroom, the Cyber Security Council members joined a guided tour through the HSD Campus. They spoke with Tom Wolters and Jan Willem Veldhuis from Akasec about their Dutch cybersecurity company and their offensive (software) tooling for advanced persistent threats and their role in the public private ‘cyberroom’ during the recent NATO Summit in The Hague. 

In addition they dropped by the Digital Forensics Lab of the Leiden University of Applied Sciences. Lecturer and researcher Jos Griffioen explained how the lab helps to cultivate the next generation of digital forensics talent. He demonstrated the use of the international tool 'Hansken', NFI's cutting-edge forensic technology for analysing vast amounts of digital information. Both of them explained how partnerships and being at HSD Campus added value to them and the shared goal on ’securing the future together’.
