This is the 3rd edition of the Cyber Booked Event. A joint event organized by the local Dutch Security Chapters of ISACA and ISC2 as well as the Secure Software Alliance (SSA). This unique event offers an opportunity to become familiar with Cyber security books, learn from the authors and meet & greet with these authors who have been known to contribute to the security industry for decades.
We have planned to showcase 4 cyber security related books (authors). Three authors have already been confirmed:
- Vincent van Dijk, The Next Gen Information Security Professional
- Mark Tissink, Lead from Control
- Brenno de Winter, Fundamenten van Informatiebeveiliging & Sovereiniteit! Hoe dan?
Each author will have 30 minutes in which to present their book(s), thoughts & opinions and contribution. After the presentations, there is room for a meet & greet and drinks.
This year ISACA Netherlands Chapter has planned the Cyber Booked Event on the 20th of May 2026 in Breukelen at the Hotel van der Valk from 17 – 22pm. We will open the event with a light dinner (sandwiches) and kick-off the event at 17:45. The event will be in English.

Subject and Speakers
The Next-Gen Information Security Professional – From Technical Expert to Strategic Security Leader in an AI-driven world – Vincent van Dijk
Explore how modern cybersecurity professionals can evolve beyond technical expertise to become strategic business leaders. Drawing from The Next-Gen Information Security Professional, it highlights the importance of mindset, communication, and value-driven thinking in driving real organizational impact. Attendees will learn how to align security with business goals, influence stakeholders, and move from identifying risks to shaping outcomes—becoming not just protectors of systems, but enablers of growth and resilience.
Lead from control – What to do when you’re responsible and not in charge – Mark Tissink
Security, risk, compliance, privacy, control and audit. You’re responsible for outcomes you don’t control. You advise, challenge, escalate, all without line authority. This is the daily reality of second- and thrid-line work, and no existing leadership model addresses it head-on.
Lead from Control is a framework for professional effectiveness in exactly that position. This session introduces the six behavioural domains that define it (IMPACT: Integrity, Mental resilience, Positioning, Action courage, Communication, Temporisation) and the CLIQ, the psychometric instrument built to measure them. You leave with language for the tension you’ve always felt, and a mirror to hold up to your own practice.
