Vincent van Dijk

Vincent van Dijk, MSc, is a cybersecurity expert who founded Security Scientist. With a rich data science and software development background, Vincent has successfully transitioned into a career as a cybersecurity advisor before starting his own company, Security Scientist. His expertise has led to innovative solutions like the Cybersecurity Canvas, a one-page method for designing and discussing cybersecurity strategies. 

Vincent’s passion for knowledge sharing is evident in the resources he provides through his website, securityscientist.net. His articles, which cover essential topics such as cybersecurity strategies, NIS 2, risk assessments, and the NIST framework, are read by thousands of people monthly. By leveraging his experience and expertise, Vincent has empowered organizations to take control of their cybersecurity posture and develop robust cybersecurity strategies. 

On LinkedIn, Vincent writes daily with new cybersecurity insights, ideas, and observations. At the same time, Vincent also appears in other cybersecurity magazines like the magazine from Platform voor Informatie Beveiliging (PvIB). 

Allthough, Vincent primarily works on security topics like assessments, audits, and strategies. He still creates hundreds of monthly cybersecurity reports for a few well-known cybersecurity companies’ customers for services like security monitoring, firewall management, awareness, and training. 

But in the end, Vincent is known chiefly as the “the guy from Denmark” since he lives with his wife in Denmark.
