Christian Folini
Netnea.com Security Engineer, Partner
Christian Folini is a security engineer and open source enthusiast. He
holds a PhD in medieval history and enjoys defending castles across
Europe. Unfortunately, defending medieval castles is not a big
business anymore and so he turned to defending web servers, which he
finds equally challenging. He brings 15 years of experience
with ModSecurity configuration in high security environments, DDoS
defense and threat modeling.
Christian Folini is the author of the second edition of the ModSecurity
Handbook and the best known teacher on the subject. He co-leads the
OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set project and serves as the program chair
of the "Swiss Cyber Storm" conference. In 2020, the Swiss government
invited him to moderate a dialogue with 25 scientists on questions
of online voting security. Christian Folini is a frequent speaker at
conferences, where he tries to use his background in the humanities to
explain hardcore technical topics to audiences of different backgrounds.
