Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten

Very competent and helpful

Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten manages to bring the complex topic of cybersecurity to the stage in a simple and humorous way. During her presentation, she also highlighted the pitfalls of AI with ease. I look forward to another appearance with her.

Erlijn van Genuchten's presentation was very refreshing. The example of how she, as a professional hacker, uses clever questions to find out information from a dating platform that is actually protected was particularly impressive.

Great interactive keynote

Erlijn van Genuchten delivered a great, highly interactive keynote at Speakers Excellence's NXT Knowledge Forum. Exciting, practical and with lots of fresh ideas for communicating with bots. Highly recommended!

Before I met Erlijn, I honestly didn't even know what a pentest was - it sounded more like outdoor equipment than IT security to me. During our first conversation, I quickly realized that my websites urgently needed a security check.

The collaboration was intensive and really helpful. The report was clearly structured, with concrete results and priorities - my IT expert was able to get straight to work and fix some real weaknesses.

Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten is a very good contact person, both personally and professionally.
You can talk to her really well about various complications and then find a good solution together.
She is a very good help in preparing for an exam.
I can only recommend her and thank you very much for your support!

Today I had the pleasure of being taught by Erlijn - and I am thrilled!
She taught with a lot of energy and liveliness and managed to actively involve all course participants. Her explanations of the questions asked were clear, understandable and comprehensible.
It was a pleasure to see how knowledge can be imparted with enthusiasm and empathy. Many thanks for the great support!

I got to know Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten as a guest lecturer during my further training and can warmly recommend her. As a pentester, she brought with her both sound specialist knowledge and practical experience, which she communicates very professionally.

Her lessons were interactive, with direct questions to the learners, the inclusion of her professional experience and her practical perspective. I also really liked the fact that she made connections to topics such as sustainability and planned time for practical exercises.

I find her ability to motivate and encourage people extremely valuable. She takes time for her learners and always gives constructive feedback. She encourages people in their abilities, which is very important (and for me personally), especially in the application process or career change.

A big thank you! :)

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten as a substitute lecturer during my Security+ course - and although she only stepped in temporarily, she left a lasting impression.

She taught the material in a clear, structured and engaging way. I was particularly impressed by the fact that she explained the content in such a way that everyone could follow along - even the "little dummy" could understand everything. That's exactly what makes a good trainer: technically excellent and didactically strong.

She was always friendly, open and full of praise, provided suitable question pools for each lesson and kept us motivated with targeted repetitions. Through her lessons, I not only gained more clarity on the topic of cybersecurity, but also new motivation and concrete skills.

I can highly recommend Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten - whether for companies, teams or learners who want to experience cybersecurity in a practical, understandable and passionate way.
