- How does a hacker really work?. Live demonstration of a modern attack chain, from OSINT and initial access to lateral movement. Safe, controlled and eye-opening.
- Thirty years of ethical hacking. From Diginotar and Lektober to today's supply chain attacks. Personal stories from a career at the front line of Dutch cybersecurity.
- Security awareness that actually changes behaviour. Why compliance training fails and what does work. Practical framework for HR, security and management.
- Cyber resilience for boards and leadership. Making sense of NIS2, DORA and cyber insurance obligations without drowning in acronyms. Aligned to Dutch and EU regulatory reality.

About Wouter van Dongen and DongIT
Wouter van Dongen has been an ethical hacker for over two decades. He first drew public attention with the vulnerabilities he uncovered at Diginotar and several major Dutch banks, and later established himself in the All-Time Top 10 of the crowdsourced bug bounty platform Bugcrowd. Today he leads DongIT's technical work in penetration testing and adversary simulation, and speaks at conferences, universities and boardrooms across Europe.
DongIT has contributed to public discourse on ethical hacking through interviews, media appearances and books, including a contribution to the Dutch book "Helpful Hackers" by Chris van 't Hof. See our media page for more interviews and appearances with our ethical hackers.
"In this book, hackers, hack victims, IT professionals, journalists, managers, politicians and lawyers who have been involved in prominent ethical hacks share their perspectives. Their personal stories provide a glimpse into the mysterious world of cybersecurity and show how hackers can help us."
