WICCON 2026

An is a cybersecurity consultant based in Belgium who has never quite managed to stay on one side of the fence. Her work spans incident response, forensics, threat modelling, cyberdefense projects, and penetration testing, which means she spend roughly equal time thinking about how attacks happen and how organisations survive them.
She spoke at Annacon in 2025 and became genuinely obsessed with what AI actually does to that balance, from both ends of the kill chain.

She is constantly working toward new certifications, driven by a simple goal: never stop learning. Beyond presenting, she has been involved in organizing BSides Bucharest at the Adobe office and has attended numerous conferences along the way — always looking for the next room to learn in, or the next stage to speak from.

Ieva grew up in Lithuania, where the line between an attack and narrative manipulation was the backdrop of daily life. That early exposure became an academic focus (a master's in International Security at Sciences Po Paris, with Ukraine as her case study) and, later, a profession.
She has worked on OT Security and operational resilience projects in Switzerland and is now at Accenture Netherlands, helping clients improve their capabilities in cyber recovery, Major Incident Management, and DORA. Much of that work involves rebuilding crisis management structures to survive contact with a real incident. She studies how attackers pair technical and narrative attacks, arguing most crisis plans still aren't prepared for it.

Next to her fulltime job at the government, Kaja is the founder of CyberMaster, a fully-immersive cybercrisis simulation that puts teams under the kind of pressure no slide deck can.

The foundation for CyberMaster was laid in her background in criminology, law and technology and cybercrime, cybersecurity and riskmanagement, which is where she learned that cyber problems are rarely just technical: they're about people.

As a proper nerd, she loves to discuss these topics endlessly which is why she is a guest lecturer at the University of Twente and TU Darmstädt, where she does her best to make privacy law sound... less.... like... privacy law and to introduce to technical students that there is also another side of cybersecurity.
Therefore, her work sits at the intersection of privacy, cybersecurity and the human factor and after guiding enough crisis teams. She is convinced people are our strongest link in cybersecurity, NOT the weakest!

She recently founded her training and research consultancy, Luda Hex. Her experience has spanned from deeply technical, high performing engineering companies to working for checkbox-compliance leadership. She breaks things professionally, from web apps, infrastructure, the architecture behind them, and increasingly the AI-powered systems everyone's bolting on without reading the manual. Her work spans penetration testing, secure coding, hardware and RF hacking, and the OSINT legwork of figuring out what an organisation actually runs versus what it thinks it runs (the two are rarely the same).

She's a DEFCON and Xebia Academy trainer, volunteer teaching kids to code, crafter and loves spending time in her garden. Having made the move from apologetic Aussie to we-say-what-we-mean Dutch directness, she's well-practised at pushing back, both on systems, and on the humans who built them.
