Einar Oftedal delte detteSome professional news: today I’m wrapping up my time at RSAC It’s been a unique experience working inside one of the most established platforms in cybersecurity, and especially alongside such a strong team. Grateful for the collaboration, the pace, and the opportunity to build something new. A big thank you Jen Easterly, Petros Efstathopoulos, Sally B., Darren Shou and many more - it’s been a privilege working with you. And a very special thank you to the board and sponsors at Crosspoint Capital Partners Hugh Thompson, Ph.D. and Greg Clark ++ - your vision and leadership is unmatched and our friendship means everything to me. I am incredibly hyped about my next adventure! It's a massive new challenge that perfectly aligns with where I want to push things next. The details are still under wraps, but I cannot wait to get started and share more soon. (Re-using photos with wife Elisabeth Høiland and an actor my 14-year did not known)

Einar Oftedal la ut dette på nyttEinar Oftedal la ut dette på nytt🙌 SUPER PUMPED(!) to share that I've joined RSAC as CEO. I’m incredibly excited to work alongside the extraordinary RSAC Team, including Executive Chairman Hugh Thompson, Ph.D. and Chief of Staff Linda Gray Martin. For 35 years, RSAC has been the place where defenders, practitioners, innovators, researchers, policymakers, founders, and engineers come together to understand what’s happening today...and to build what comes next. And right now, what comes next is changing faster than at any time in our lifetimes. We are living through a historic moment where cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are inextricably linked. You can’t meaningfully talk about cybersecurity without AI. And you can’t effectively advance AI without security. This convergence is reshaping everything—how we build software, how we secure our critical infrastructure, how organizations operate, and how societies function. And it demands a global cyber community that can learn together, innovate together, and solve problems together. And for more than 3 decades, RSAC has been the home of that community. RSAC is not just a conference. It’s the engine room, the connective tissue, the heartbeat of the global cybersecurity ecosystem. It’s where breakthroughs get revealed. It’s where startups are born. And as of last year, our borders are not confined to the flagship event in San Francisco. We are building RSAC to become a year-round hub for continuous learning and collaboration for the global cybersecurity community, revolving around our world-class content and unique insights. As CEO, I’m excited to expand RSAC’s global reach; deepen our innovation ecosystem; strengthen our education initiatives; create new technical, operational, research, and policy spaces that drive real progress on software quality, AI security, and digital resilience; and scale our growing membership community. The work ahead is important—and I’m incredibly optimistic about our ability to #MoveFastAndBuildThings. I look forward to helping this extraordinary community write the next chapter. We have an incredible opportunity to shape a secure and resilient digital future.

Einar Oftedal likte detteWhat a week at RSAC Conference! 35 years in, and this was our biggest yet: nearly 44,000 attendees, 700 speakers, 600 exhibitors, and 100+ countries represented. Tired but still buzzing from the energy of this community. It’s no surprise that AI dominated the conversation. A few themes kept surfacing: agentic AI is putting identity back at the center of security, governance is no longer optional, and the gap between how fast attackers move versus defenders is a challenge we can’t ignore. What’s clear is that what got us here won’t get us there — this space will keep evolving faster than any of us expect. The innovation happening across this ecosystem gives me hope. And then there was Adam Savage on the keynote stage — a highlight for any MythBusters fan (like me!). His message was a personal one for me: curiosity and a drive to keep learning aren’t just useful — they’re a mindset. As a lifelong learner, I found it deeply inspiring. Grateful for the incredible team that brought this to life. 🙌Einar Oftedal likte detteAnd just like that, another #RSAC Conference comes to a close. To everyone who showed up this week, thank you.

Einar Oftedal likte detteEinar Oftedal likte detteWell, call me gobsmacked. As you will know by now, I like to investigate old malware. The first virus for microcomputers, Elk Cloner for Apple II, was released in 1982. It was made by Rich Skrenta, who was then just a 15 year old high school student. The canonical reference sample, an Apple II disk image infected with Elk Cloner v2, has floated around in collections for decades. It was originally shared by Skrenta himself. Today, fellow computer archaeologist Draedon pointed out that this disk is *not empty*. It contains the *original source code* for Elk Cloner v2 AND its predecessor v1. I don't think I've seen _any_ of those before. Someone must have seen this already, but to me, this was completely new information. A piece of computer history. Hidden in plain sight for 44 years.

Einar Oftedal likte detteEinar Oftedal likte detteHappy to share that I`ve joined Group Security in DNB, and grateful for the warm welcome! DNB is already a strong and well-established player on security and emergency preparedness, which contributes to creating value for societies and the customers. However, the current development driven by factors like technology and geopolitical shifts will require even more going forward, which is the case for all organizations that provide vital services to the societies. With CSO Anders Hardangen in lead, DNB is also increasing the efforts, ambitions, and collaboration on strategic security deliveries across the group, partners, industry organizations and authorities. I`m excited to contribute to these meaningful and challenging responsibilities, and I look forward to the journey ahead 🤝
