The Netherlands' #1 Chief Cybersecurity Officer.
Chairman of the CISO platform, member of the advisory board of National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), LinkedIn Cyber TopVoice and Director of Cybersecurity at Dutch Railways.
Dimitri is among the most influential voices in the Dutch cybersecurity world. He is a sought-after speaker on international stages and has already appeared at conferences in North America, Asia, the Middle East and numerous European top conferences. With the sharpness of a strategist, the experience of a practitioner and the flair of a storyteller, he takes his audience on a compelling journey through today's cyber landscape.
His lectures are more than just presentations: they are a wake-up call. He unravels current threats and geopolitical tensions
With sharp and timely examples from his daily work as a cybersecurity leader, he takes the audience into a world that is invisible to many - but increasingly affecting our daily lives. He opens the doors to the heart of digital threats, demonstrates the meteoric rise of AI, and connects it to the geopolitical tensions being felt around the world.
What makes this keynote special is not just the content, but the way it is told. With a stimulating style and a compelling narrative voice, he effortlessly switches between international developments and recognizable situations from everyday life. He shows how cyber attacks are not taking place in faraway lands, but here, now - in sectors that affect us all: transportation,
energy, healthcare, communications and government.
He shows how AI not only creates new opportunities but also shifts power relations, and how geopolitics, technology and digital resilience are inextricably linked. Through his unique combination of strategic insight, practical experience and narrative power, he manages to make complex topics understandable and tangible to any audience - from technologists to administrators, from students to policymakers.
The result is not a dry lecture, but an immersive journey. A keynote that takes you away, wakes you up and inspires you. You leave not only with new knowledge, but more importantly with a sharper awareness of the digital reality in which we all live.

As a business platform for entrepreneurs and directors, we have had the opportunity to work with Dimitri van Zantvliet several times at our events. His performance on cybersecurity was not only strong in content, but also extremely relevant to our constituency of entrepreneurs. With a lot of energy, humor and practical examples he managed to make a complex subject understandable and urgent. Our participants were full of praise and especially appreciated the concrete tips they could put to work immediately in their own organizations. In short: an inspiring speaker who combines knowledge with charisma - highly recommended for any business event.

Dimitri's presentations at Cyber Senate are consistently innovative, timely, and tackle the emerging technological and business challenges facing the railway sector. His approach to presenting is both informative and relaxed, effortlessly conveying complex topics as if he's been doing it for a lifetime. Delivered with confidence, Dimitri shows a deep respect for both the organization he represents and the audience he speaks to. He has been an integral part of our community, providing invaluable insights into frontline challenges and future outcomes for our programs. His awareness of the subject matter is exceptional, and he always ensures his contributions are not only timely and educational but also engaging and entertaining. Dimitri's commitment to ensuring his presentations resonate with the audience is clear, and his ability to engage with complex material while keeping it accessible is a skill we highly value. Dimitri has also contributed as a Chair at Cyber Senate events, where he has played a key role in raising awareness about railway cybersecurity. His efforts have extended beyond just his own presentations, as he has helped introduce industry colleagues to our events, fostering an important dialogue within the sector. I would not hesitate to have Dimitri speak at any Cyber Senate event in the future. His expertise, professionalism, and approach to delivering content make him a standout speaker and an essential asset to our community.

Over the past two years, I have enjoyed working with Dimitri on Cybersec Netherlands, where he is not only part of the advisory board, but also a fixture within the program. During last year's edition, he provided a highly appreciated keynote on the role of cybersecurity within Dutch Railways. With conviction, he showed how cybersecurity there is now as embedded in the organization as physical security, and how cooperation within the European rail sector is essential to increase digital resilience. His insights into the role of AI within future cyber management captured the imagination and gave the audience a concrete picture of how technology and humans can reinforce each other in critical infrastructures. The combination of content, energy and humor made his performance one of the highlights of the conference. This year, he showed another side of his leadership by mentoring two of his pupils to their first major stage experience, a great example of how he fosters knowledge sharing and talent development. In addition, Dimitri participated in the CISO panel "How to Cyber Secure a NATO Summit Together?" in which the CISOs of NS, Schiphol, Air France-KLM and the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer gave a unique insight into the digital defense surrounding the NATO Summit in The Hague. In doing so, Dimitri candidly shared how Dutch Railways helped protect logistics, infrastructure and communications systems during one of the most high-risk international events of the year. His contribution gave the audience a rare look behind the scenes of cyber resilience at the highest level; from collaboration with the Ministry of Defense and the NCSC to decision making under pressure. When I had to add something last-minute to this year's program, Dimitri was immediately willing to join me for an "Ask Me Anything" session on the theme "How to become and stay a CISO? In an open and interactive setting, he shared his personal experiences about the road to, and staying in, a CISO role, the relationship with the board and constantly balancing between strategy, regulations and daily reality. The audience was given plenty of room to ask questions, and the room was packed to the last seat. The session attracted so much interest that visitors continued talking with him afterwards and even wanted to have their pictures taken with him. In addition to his involvement with Cybersec Netherlands, Dimitri also actively participates within the CISO Community Netherlands and makes valuable contributions to Computable, including an extensive interview in the magazine. In short, Dimitri combines in-depth cybersecurity knowledge with an infectious energy on stage. He knows how to make complex topics understandable and relevant to any audience. And always with humor, passion and conviction.

I loved your lecture, the presentation was very fluid and the explanation was very easy to understand, it was a fantastic experience. Your lecture gave me insight into the work your team does and I felt the passion and commitment you show for it. What stuck with me the most was your reference to "The Signal-Man" by Dickens; using the story as an introduction, you integrated infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity in a wonderful way. It was a very inspiring lecture, truly fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing such great content.
