I drive our framework governance using SIM3 (Security Incident Management Maturity Model), SOC-CMM (SOC Capability Maturity Model), as well as NIST CSF, ISO 27035 and similar ensuring an ever-evolving Cyber Defence Center ready for the Security Events and Incidents of the past, present, and the future. Being Cyber Security Strategist, I'm also responsible for setting short-term and long-term goals and roadmaps, and enabling the management-level to understand current and upcoming topics and ensuring a sound foundation for decision-making.

At the role of Cyber Security Engineer I take part of our Security Operations (SOC) team within the Cyber Defence Center. For the first year my responsibilities primarily covered customer security i.a. incident response, alert handling and triage using SIEM and SOAR tools, procedures, risk assessments and vulnerability scanning, and internal DevOps for our Security products. Furthermore, I was integral in developing our running roadmaps for the team and participate in developing and evaluating new innovative security solutions and services for internal use and for our customers. Since the later parts of 2021 and further evolving in 2022, I have worked with tier 3 incident handling, digital forensics, malware analysis and continuously developing and improving Incident Response capabilities as well as the CSIRT processes and procedures. Also taking part in our R&D with researching security-tooling and DevOps programming primarily in Python.

During this time, I learned pleanty about the in's and out's of HyperV, VMWare, Xen as hypervisors as well as Citrix systems, Microsoft systems, specialised applications as well as being part of the Linux-team. In the summer of 2020 I joined the Security Operations (SOC), where I started working on internal procedures, certifications in F-Secure, Carbon Black, Cylance and other EPP/EDR systems used in our work. For the remainding time of my apprenticeship I have worked within our SOC-team with customer security i.a. alert-handling, CVE/CVSS risk assessments, light incident response and working on implementation of "The Hive" into our workflow with a great deal of Python-programming.

As a volunteer in the Skanderborg Festival Club, you work at the Danish festival "Smukfest" or colloquially "The most beautiful festival in Denmark". In 2013 I helped in the festival's wine bar "Vinoteket".

In 2017, in parallel with my sub-chairman work at Vinoteket, I was part of the stage crew on the festival's biggest stages, the Beech Tree Stages.

After my time as a conscript in the Emergency Management Agency in Herning, I had a desire to continue to be a part of it. From April 2010, right after my conscript service, I was accepted into the Volunteer Force, DFI and became a volunteer at the Emergency Management Agency in Herning.
