Lina Kovács

Lina earned a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Eötvös Loránd University and a postgraduate certificate in Cybersecurity from ETH Zurich. She started in security operations, chasing down privilege-escalation paths and strange east-west traffic in SaaS estates. From there, she moved into incident response for fintechs, running tabletop exercises and helping teams ship with fewer secrets in repos. Today she writes plainly about zero trust, passkey rollouts, SBOMs, and secure software supply chains, cutting through fearmongering to focus on habits that actually lower risk. Lina mentors women entering cyber, co-hosts privacy workshops for teens, and publishes checklists that busy engineers actually use. She’s a classical violinist, an avid train traveler who prefers night routes, and an amateur photographer collecting views from station platforms across Europe.
