Niclas Hedam is a dedicated security expert, focusing on safeguarding information, systems, and people against evolving threats and vulnerabilities. With significant technical experience and a deep passion for security and privacy, Niclas is committed to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical infrastructure in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Niclas successfully completed a PhD in Computer Science at the IT University of Copenhagen, where he specialised in data movement and hardware offload in modern data systems. His research led to the development of Delilah, the first publicly-described storage device capable of running eBPF, enabling database operations to be executed directly on computational storage hardware without requiring specialised software.
Niclas holds a Bachelor’s degree in Software Development and a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a specialisation in Information Security. His academic journey was marked by a drive to tackle challenges at the intersection of security and data systems, exploring ways to guarantee availability, integrity, and confidentiality in modern computational storage systems.
Currently, Niclas leverages his unique blend of research expertise and practical experience to contribute to a safer digital society. He is passionate about defending people’s data from ever-changing threats, protecting their privacy, and advancing the field of cybersecurity through innovation and collaboration.
Niclas is interested in cross-disciplinary research between security and data systems. Key research interests include
