David Bothe is a cybersecurity consultant, trainer and live-hacker with 11 years of experience, now running his own consultancy Cyberbüro Bothe from Gelsenkirchen. He combines hands-on offensive security skills with academic research as a long-time research associate in System Security at the Institute for Internet Security. David has advised industry and institutions, served on the IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg cybersecurity exam committee, and held senior advisory roles at AWARE7, demonstrating depth across consulting, training, and applied research. With an M.Sc. in Media Informatics, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective that blends usability, threat analysis and secure-by-design thinking.
