Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKjell Fossbakk is a security analyst with 14 years' experience protecting Norway's critical infrastructure, primarily leading detection engineering and incident response for Norwegian HealthCERT since 2011. He designs and operates large-scale telemetry and analytics platforms—using Docker, Kafka, Go and Hadoop/ELK as open-source alternatives to commercial SIEMs—and has run both Splunk and custom detection stacks. Earlier roles in the Norwegian Armed Forces and Q-Free combined defensive cyber operations, IDS engineering and embedded cryptography, giving him deep operational and systems-level security expertise. Based in Trondheim, he blends hands-on distributed systems development with pragmatic security governance, and often translates sensor data into actionable threat intelligence. A practical tinkerer with a Master’s in Information Security, he favors building resilient, observable platforms rather than one-off tools.
