Hey guys, my name is Truls and I do security-related stuff mostly detection, automation and security engineering. A little TL;DR on myself:

6 years experience from system- and network-administration, 2 years penetration testing experience and 6 years SOC experience, mainly security and automation engineering. I was one of the main architects behind the first Microsoft MXDR-verified solution in Norway and once upon a time I was rank 2 on HackTheBox in Norway (hackers always disclose location I've heard...), but this was back before it become really popular so I wouldn't really put any stocks into my hacking skills.

Some accolades include World first Microsoft Sentinel Black Belt, World top 500 Mythic Sire Denathrius (in a two-day raiding guild, I think top 10 for two-day). On the business side of things I'm a Microsoft MVP in the SIEM & XDR category.

I'm a converted cat-person (ask and I'll show you pictures of course) and I own a roadbike that's never been ridden outside before (I'm terrified of riding outside). Other fun facts include the fact that I only recently learned how to properly brush my teeth (if you know, you know) and my second fav buzzword is Zero Trust (not a product). Also way to fond of Battlefield 6 at the moment!
