Dasha Diaz

Founder & CEO at itrainsec

I was born in academic family. My parents are teachers, my grandparents were scientists, my great grandparents were teachers too. Understanding, how important education is, have been set in my mind since I could remember myself. And truly I am always looking for the ways to get more knowledge and very passionate about self-education

I adore meeting new people and learning from them - that's how I've found my path in linguistics, and all my life I work with communications in all possible ways that you can ever think of.

For more than a decade, I’ve been organising world-class IT security events and training for the global cyber security community. My close bonds and powerful network represent a rich portfolio of leading subject matter experts and trainers – that allowed me to found my own company 'itrainsec' with a motto 'Learn from the best!'

I am happy to give a very unique opportunity to the young generation to learn things from the best experts and practitioners in the industry.
