While most kids in the ’90s were busy playing Doom, Mathias Vissers was busy modding it, and in the process, accidentally discovered the world of “hacking”. That teenage curiosity sparked a lifelong passion for technology, security, and making the internet a safer place for everyone.

Today, Mathias is the co-founder of Fox&Fish Cyberdefense, leading a sharp team of ethical hackers on a single mission: helping organizations stay ahead of ever-evolving cyber threats. As a cybersecurity evangelist, he believes awareness is the strongest firewall, which is why he spends much of his time giving keynotes, workshops, and training that turn complex cyber risks into practical, relatable actions.

Before Fox&Fish, Mathias built a strong foundation in digital transformation and strategy, bridging the gap between business and technology. That mix of tech expertise and strategic insight lets him connect with both IT teams and boards alike — sometimes even around the same table.

Driven by a personal mission to make the internet a better, safer place, Mathias advocates for a world where cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. Expect clear guidance, a few laughs, and maybe an uncomfortable truth about your password habits.
