Bio
An IT enthusiast who had childhood dreams of becoming a hacker, Chris Dale’s path to a career in information security was set after his older brother hacked him. Today Chris uses his hacker skills to demonstrate risk via Offensive Services and Incident Response.
Chris began his career in 2009 working for a large Norwegian ISP, doing development and IT operations. “I really learned about how all things interconnect and work,” he says. Since then, he’s worked for multiple companies in important roles, and his last job was as Head of Cyber Security at a 60-person consulting firm, where he led both pen testing and incident response teams.
In 2020, Chris founded his own company, River Security, specializing in offensive services, attack surface management, and cyber consulting.
