This entails developing and implementing robust security strategies and utilizing cutting-edge security solutions to protect critical assets and data for the agency (one of Norway's critical agencies).

Before joining KBN, I served as a vital member of the Sykehuspartner CERT team, responsible for securing ICT services for hospitals across south-eastern Norway (covering more than 3 million people, or >50% of Norway's population). In this capacity, I leveraged state-of-the-art security solutions, including IDS and EDR, to conduct technical and tactical analyses of security incidents affecting healthcare providers in the region. My contributions were pivotal in safeguarding sensitive information within the healthcare sector.

Before my tenure at Sykehuspartner, I made significant contributions as a security researcher at the University of Oslo. I actively participated in cutting-edge research projects in the cybersecurity field, further enhancing my knowledge and skills.

Additionally, I have a proven track record as a CTO/IT Manager for a prominent hotel group. I successfully managed IT operations and ensured the security of guest data and systems.

Peter Laughter

Peter Laughter

Hello there! I'm Peter Laughter, and 12 years ago, an experience transformed my understanding of leadership and set me on a path to fulfill my purpose. I realized that the best solutions come from those closest to the problem, not from the top down. This led me to embrace distributed decision-making, empowering individuals to help organizations become more agile and resilient in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

My purpose is to reveal the profound bonds that connect all humanity, making them visible and tangible in our daily lives. To thrive amid exponential change, organizations must shift from command-and-control to a network system of distributed authority. The traditional command-and-control orthodoxy is as harmful for corporate leaders as it is for employees, stifling innovation and engagement. Through my speaking and consulting, I guide organizations in building dynamic methods for fostering this new approach.

With over 25 years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I've founded three successful firms, served elite consultancies and banks, and pioneered the first SaaS platform for managing enterprise labor programs. My work has earned prestigious awards, including the Inc 500.

I'm a TEDx speaker on Radical Empathy and a three-time Moth Story Slam winner, with a story featured on The Moth Podcast. These experiences reflect my passion for storytelling and my ability to connect deeply with audiences.

When I'm not transforming the business world, you'll find me exploring trails on my bicycle, lost in a book, or sharing stories. And yes, I love a good laugh – after all, it’s in my name! Most of all, I love riding the Cyclone with my daughter Eddy.
