Hassan Mussana
VP Cybersecurity Strategy//Link11//Berlin
Speaking

I talk about security engineering inside regulated estates, security leadership, and supply-chain incident response — from the seat of the person who was accountable for the outcome.

Topics I speak on

  • Security leadership at venture-backed companies — building security functions from the first hire, ISO 27001 as an operational discipline not a checkbox, and what metrics actually move the room.
  • Cloud security under regulation — running AWS at scale inside a supervised estate, and what DORA, NIS2 and BaFin BAIT actually demand of the engineering rather than the paperwork.
  • Supply-chain incident response — lessons from the engineer seat and the CISO seat on the same class of problem.
  • AI for defensive security — what earns its keep in detection, triage, and IR, versus what's just a demo.
