Kaja Möller
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!
Session
It's 02:47 in the morning when the call comes in. Some systems aren't responding. Customer data may have been stolen. Your phone won't stop ringing and your colleague asks you with a shiver in his voice: "What do we do now?"
Having watched dozens of leadership teams walk into that exact moment here’s what stands out: Most of them have crisis plans. Most of them have done a tabletop. Almost none of them stay calm the way they thought they would.
