Christian Lang is a technical all-rounder and creative mind. He came into contact with the first offshoots of today's computer world at an early age. From Amiga, he moved on to PCs and then to complex IT infrastructures in a corporate environment and the world of IT security.

He has always found it exciting to understand, change, or reinvent technical issues. Whether it's modified software on mobile phones or replacing LED lighting on them, curiosity is always his motivation.

Given his creativity, becoming an author seemed inevitable. It also explains why he took advanced German classes at a technical high school as part of his university entrance qualification—for which he was regularly ridiculed.

Explaining complex IT issues in simple terms is the basis for his lecture “Cybersecurity for everyone” and his description of IT security terms in the form of little monsters called “CYBER-INGSE” (cyber-ingse.de).

He believes that knowledge is the best weapon in the fight against cyberattacks.
