Urgent National Security Threats Exposed: Join Bas Dunnebier to Learn How We Can Safeguard the Netherlands Together


At a time when global tensions are at their highest in decades, Bas Dunnebier, Chief Science and Technology Officer at The General Intelligence and Security Service of The Netherlands (AIVD), is poised to deliver one of the most anticipated keynote addresses at Cybersec Netherlands 2024. Titled “Threats Against the Netherlands: More Urgent in a World of High Insecurity,” Dunnebier’s presentation will dive into the complex and evolving security landscape that threatens the digital and physical safety of the Netherlands and its national interests.

In his keynote, Dunnebier will explore what he describes as the “grey zone”—a precarious middle ground between war and peace where traditional state threats and cyber-attacks blend with the actions of non-state actors like terrorist organizations and criminal syndicates. This environment, fueled by rapid technological advancements and geopolitical uncertainty, presents new challenges that call for urgent action and enhanced cooperation.
