Security Masterclass from Arjen Kamphuis

The masterclass provides an overview of the theory of information security with a lot of real-life examples and specific cases. We will discuss the relationship between security, IT-strategy and training/educational programs. Of course the revelations of Edward Snowden and the implications for security and IT-strategy won’t remain untouched and we will have a closer look at industrial automation and similar matters. Concrete examples of measures against so called advanced persistent threats, such as digital warfare and industrial espionage, will be discussed as well. Because nobody is boring enough to be clear of any secrets. Because everybody has got something to hide… Who is Arjen Kamphuis? Arjen Kamphuis studied physical science at the University of Utrecht and was an employee of IBM and worked for Twynstra Gudde as an IT-architect, trainer and IT-strategy advisor. He is a certified IT-auditor and information security expert (CISA, CISM). Arjen helps out companies, public institutions and a number of national governments to develop an IT-strategy that revolves around security. In order to keep his knowledge up to date he reads a megabyte of text every day and technical specialists, researchers and (former) spies brief him regularly with the latest information. Next to his job as advisor, he trains journalists and NGO-employees in practical information security and counter surveillance so they are able to operate safely in dangerous countries. At Brunel, Arjen essentially leads a team of information security specialists who work on digital security in leading organizations in The Netherlands on operational level as well as on policy level.
