Sergio Albea

My name is Sergio Albea, and I'm from Valls, a tiny town in Spain famous for building the best human castles 🏰 (castells) — which is probably where I first learned that the strongest things are built one careful layer at a time, and never alone. From there to Barcelona, and five years ago to Switzerland 🇨🇭, where I work as a CSOC Security Expert at SWITCH (the Swiss NREN), doing threat analysis and response for the Education and Research sector.

More than twenty years working with Microsoft technologies have taken me across different areas — messaging, identity and access, information protection, DevOps, cloud and security. But the part I care about most has never changed: staying proactive, learning and sharing what I learn. Almost everything I know came from people who shared their knowledge with me, and I try to do the same.

During the last three years, Threat Hunting has also taken me to conferences and workshops across Europe. Every talk has been an opportunity to share an idea, discuss it with other hunters and come back home having learned something new.
