Nicolas StriebigChief Technology Officer, XRATOR

Nicolas started his career as an offensive security specialist with European aeronautic giant Airbus and the French Ministry of Armed Forces. He then switched to the defensive side to be the CSO of the Thai branch of leading insurer AXA. As a CSO, he specialized in transforming global security strategies from a vulnerability-based to a threat-based approach.

Nicolas is now the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of XRATOR, a preventive and strategic cybersecurity SaaS company that protects organizations against ransomwares, data theft and all kinds of cyber-attack through Cyber-Risk Quantification and Remediation. It allows them to continuously improve their security and enhance their eligibility to cyber insurances. Nicolas’ understanding of cyber-security, coming from both the organisation’s side and the attacker’s side, gives him a dual perspective to define the XRATOR’s long-term vision and innovation.

Nicolas is a graduate engineer in computer science from Bordeaux INP Engineering School in France and holds a Certificate in computer engineering from Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal in Canada. He also recently confessed being an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego).
