Veronica is also an Assistant Professor at Noroff University.. Veronica holds a Master in Science at

prides herself in keeping patients safe as this is something which is near to her heart. She is also a
cyborg sporting an embedded medical device herself. She also is a DEF CON Goon and she is the

Her particular research interests include research into security vulnerabilities in medical devices forming
part of the Internet of Things, and how these could be exploited by malicious attackers, as well as what
types of forensic artefacts could be identified from any attacks. She is extremely passionate about
protecting people whose lives depend on these medical devices, and her passion saw her becoming a

dealing specifically with implanted medical devices and medical devices installed within a healthcare
setting. At her core Veronica is a forensicator and hacker and in love with every bit, byte and nibble of
knowledge she has obtained.
