I’m Paul Ducklin, but everyone calls me Duck.

I’ve been in cybersecurity since the early days of computer viruses, right at the pointy end - reversing, coding, analysing, responding, and supporting the community. (You may know me as one of the names behind the legendary EICAR test file.)

I’m an accomplished, award-winning technical writer well-known for explaining even super-complex technical stuff in plain English, from esoteric cryptographic bugs to wacky security exploits.

I’m an experienced and entertaining speaker who consistently gets glowing feedback for the quality and impact of my talks, live malware demos, and webinars.

Readers and audiences love my material and enjoy coming back for more,

If you have any writing, speaking or presenting you’d like me to do for you, or if you’re a journalist looking for informed and eminently quotable content, please get in touch via my ABOUT ME link.
