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...)

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 SIEM & XDR

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!

Este enfoque me ha llevado a participar en distintas iniciativas que buscan ayudar a los clientes a visualizar y comprender el impacto de su evolución tecnológica.

A lo largo de los años he obtenido certificaciones en áreas como GitOps, Backstage, Cloud Foundations y Observabilidad, que reflejan mi interés constante por seguir aprendiendo y perfeccionando mi práctica.

With roots in PowerShell automation and an unhealthy fascination with studio technology, Lena lost herself somewhere between DevOps thinking, cable management, and M365 multi-tenancy—and decided to just stay there. She spends her days automating processes, keeping infrastructure running, and building things that should be simple but, of course, never are.

Outside of work, she claims to have no hobbies. However, that's only true until you hear her 3D printer, which usually has more to do than she does. After all, free time is a relative term, especially when you're trying out new tools, repairing technology, or wondering why Microsoft tenant configurations are the way they are.
