  Chris van 't Hof
  

  Chris van 't Hof

  Chris is one of the co-founders of DIVD and Managing Director since January 1, 2022. He ended up in cybersecurity through his experience as a researcher and wrote two books about Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure: ‘Helpende Hackers’ (2016) and ‘Cyberellende was nog nooit zo leuk’ (2021). During his time at the Rathenau Institute he wrote ‘RFID and Identity Management in Everyday Life’ (2007) and was co-author of ‘De Digitale Generatie’ (2005), ‘Het Glazen Lichaam. Gegrepen door informatie’ (2008), ‘Check in / Check out, De openbare ruimte als internet der dingen’ (2011), ‘Voorgeprogrammeerd en Hoe internet ons leven leidt’ (2012). In his presentation “How we hack the world and get away with it” Chris will combine these books into one story. With his unusual background in electrical engineering and sociology, Chris analyzes how human and electronic networks interact. As a presenter, he appeared on stage more than 700 times and organized and presented many talk shows, such as Tek Tok late night (2012-2016), Hack Talk (2017-2022) and Port Cyber ​​Café (2017-2024). Combining these experiences and skills, he also provides cyber crisis training to a wide range of organizations. You could say that this is not a typical background for a Managing Director, but it works for DIVD. Chris doesn’t see himself as the boss, but rather as a translator who explains to the outside world how hackers can help and strives to provide a safe space for nerds to do their thing.
