I'm Arne Vidstrom, a security specialist based in Karlstad, Sweden. Before starting my own business at the turn of 2018/2019, I was an IT security researcher at the Swedish Defense Research Agency. Before that, I was a computer security engineer at the largest Swedish telecom operator, Telia.
During my 20+ years in the industry, I've worked with: application security testing, security code reviews, penetration testing, security configuration reviews, security training, computer forensics, applied cryptanalysis, reverse engineering for both malware analysis and vulnerability research, SCADA security, security testing of network and telecommunications equipment, security tool development (both offensive and defensive), web security, exploit development, a bit of security monitoring and incident response, and more.
I'm an electrical engineer, and I have a BSc in mathematics with a minor in information systems. My bachelor thesis was on mathematical coding theory. I also have an MSc in biology (focusing on behavioral biology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary game theory, and neurobiology). In addition, I've taken university courses in business development, accounting, managerial accounting, business law, international business law, IT law, labor law, and administrative law.
I'm the technical editor of the McGraw-Hill Osborne Media book Windows Security Portable Reference, and I also write books myself, published under the Vidstrom Labs imprint.
