Enterprise Security Architect
Herbert has been working at Rabobank since 2019, where he is responsible for the enterprise security architecture of Rabobank Global. He is also a member of the Security MT and the Enterprise Architecture Board (EAB), and chairman of both the Security Architecture Board (SAB) and the Program Design Authority (PDA). He is involved in topics such as Zero Trust Architecture (Assume Breach), MFA, Segmentation, Networks, Post-Quantum Encryption, Biometrics, Deep Fake, and Cloud. Before joining Rabobank, Herbert worked for five years at KPN as a Security Architect, and for almost sixteen years at CGI as a Principal Business Consultant.
Worldwide, countries invest billions annually in quantum technology, with the aim of developing the first functional quantum computer. Although AI currently dominates the headlines, quantum computing is expected to become widely available soon and poses a direct threat to current encryption methods, which could undermine digital resilience. This makes it essential to start transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) now, where collaboration, strategic planning, and knowledge sharing will be crucial for success. Yet one fundamental question remains: where do we begin?
During this Vision Dinner, Herbert Leenstra, Enterprise Architect Security at Rabobank, will share the bank’s vision and strategy in the field of PQC. He will discuss Rabobank’s practical approach, the challenges encountered, and the obstacles during implementation, highlighting the key lessons learned: what worked, what didn’t, and why. In addition, Herbert will discuss how to effectively involve C-level executives and substantiate investments in this crucial domain.
You are cordially invited to network with Herbert and other professionals, exchange experiences, and gain insights into this urgent topic. We look forward to welcoming you on October 30.
