As our world electrifies, protecting the systems that keep the lights on has never been more critical. In the final episode of The ONE Podcast, host Koen from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NL) speaks with Boye Tranum, Director of Cybersecurity at DNV, about the future of cybersecurity in the age of renewable energy. They discuss why offshore wind farms - vital to Europe’s energy transition - have become an emerging target for adversaries, and how the industry is uniting through a Joint Industry Project to strengthen operational technology (OT) security across the sector.

From complex supply chains to long-term lifecycle risks, this episode explores how collaboration, practical guidance, and a shared commitment to resilience can secure the energy systems of tomorrow.

This episode is based on Boye’s ONE Conference session, “OT Cybersecurity for Offshore Wind”. More information about this session can be found on: https://app.recaphub.co/one-conference-2025/content/jFc0HeA4G

What does digital sovereignty truly mean for Europe, and why does it matter now more than ever? In this episode of The ONE Podcast, host Koen speaks with Cody Barrow, CEO of EclecticIQ, about how Europe can strengthen its digital and economic independence in an era of shifting global power. Drawing on his unique transatlantic background, Cody discusses espionage risks, dependencies on non-European infrastructure, and the need to foster innovation and risk-taking within Europe’s technology community.A timely discussion on sovereignty, strategy, and Europe’s role in the next chapter of global cybersecurity.This episode is based on Cody’s ONE Conference session, “ReArm Europe/Readiness 2030: Cyber Sovereignty Starts Now”.

When does security research cross paths with cyber espionage? In this episode of The ONE Podcast, host Koen speaks with Sanne Maasakkers, Senior Analyst at Mandiant (Google Cloud), about how advanced threat actors are reusing tools and techniques originally eveloped by ethical researchers. Together, they explore the blurred lines between research and exploitation, the challenges of cloud visibility, and the shared responsibility of vendors, defenders, and researchers in keeping digital supply chains secure.

This episode is based on Sanne’s ONE Conference session, “Researchers vs. Threat Actors in Cloud Attacks”. More information about this session can be found on: https://app.recaphub.co/one-conference-2025/content/2fhJjQkhO

When the Eindhoven University of Technology was hit by a major cyberattack, the IT team faced a critical decision: fight the intruder or shut everything down. In this episode, host Koen speaks with Joost de Jong, CISO of TU/e, about what really happened that night. Joost takes us through the process from the first alarming alert to the bold decision to take the entire university network offline. Together they unpack the chaos, communication, and tough calls that define real-world crisis management in cybersecurity. Discover how trust, preparation, and clear priorities can make all the difference when every second counts.

This episode is based on Joost’s ONE Conference session, Bits, Breach & Besluiten: The night of the TU/e Hack”. More information about this session can be found on: https://app.recaphub.co/one-conference-2025/content/8ouh0ht8a

In this episode of The ONE Podcast, we explore the law and policy side of cybersecurity’s next big challenge: the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Host Koen Dansbrink speaks with Laima Jančiūtė about how the European Union is preparing for the quantum era through governance, legislation, and coordination.

Laima explains how EU institutions and Member States are shaping the PQC transition through the European Commission’s 2024 recommendation, the upcoming EU PQC Roadmap, and national initiatives across Europe. She discusses the importance of regulatory clarity, the precautionary principle in quantum risk management, and why organizations must act now to avoid the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat.

This episode is based on Laima’s ONE Conference session, “The governance of the PQC transition in the EU .” More information about this session can be found on: https://app.recaphub.co/one-conference-2025/content/Z8LsDnhPA

In this episode of The ONE Podcast, we speak with Lieske from National Investigations & Special Operations (N.I.S.) of the Netherlands Police about Operation PowerOFF, a long-running international effort to combat DDoS-for-hire (booter) services.

We explore the power of partnerships in fighting cybercrime, and how data-driven interventions and collaboration between law enforcement, academia, and private partners are disrupting the DDoS ecosystem — not only by taking down infrastructure, but also by reaching out to offenders before they reoffend.

Lieske shares insights on warning letters as deterrents, the effectiveness of Google Ads and YouTube interventions, and how research helps refine prevention strategies.

In this episode of The ONE Podcast, we take a deeper dive into the technical side of cybersecurity. Our guest is Geri Revay, Principal Security Researcher at Fortinet, who discusses a powerful kernel technology - eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) - and how it’s being repurposed by malware authors.

We explore how eBPF, originally designed to enhance performance and observability in Linux systems, is now being abused to gain stealthy, kernel-level access, evade detection, and even hide malicious activity. Geri shares insights into the real-world risks, defensive strategies, and why awareness and preparation are essential as eBPF expands from Linux into Windows environments.

This episode is based on Geri’s ONE Conference session, “Threat From The Inside: eBPF Used by Malware.” More information about this session can be found on: https://app.recaphub.co/one-conference-2025/content/iU7N6Y5wH
