I am associate professor at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science. I work on a variety of cyber security topics, ranging from security risk management and threat modeling to mobile security and secure software development. My main goal is to make organisations more secure by improving their security management practices, helping them to secure their software and systems, providing them insights into cyber threats, and assisting them in making decisions about cyber security.
