Hi, I’m Lars Birkeland
With over 25 years of experience in IT and cyber risk management, I specialize in helping organizations navigate the complex landscape of digital security.
As a CISO, I bring a depth of knowledge in risk assessment, compliance, and Information security Management Systems (ISMS).
My approach is rooted in helping businesses manage cyber risk for productivity and growth. All this ensures security, resilience, and adaptability around evolving threats.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about Creative Writing, Cybersecurity, AI, and Coffee, which keeps me balanced and continuously learning.
Having worked with several well-known companies operating across various industries, from government and insurance to healthcare, my experience extends not only to the area’s core work but also cyber and risk assessment, compliance, and internal control and governance frameworks.
