Frequently Ask Questions
To better prepare yourself for upcoming questions and interviews, here are the most frequent asked questions for my training and speaker services.
What is ahead Security?
ahead Security is the brand name for the individual enterprise I am operating my consulting, trainer and speaker work under. It serves as a reminder for the mindset which I'm following, which is to tackle challenges and changes ahead as means for prevention.
Who are you?
My name is Max Imbiel. Professionally I am currently the Deputy Group CISO for N26 AG. I live near Munich with my family and I like to go hiking in the mountains, biking, reading and listening to podcasts. You can find me easily on LinkedIn, Twitter and Mastodon.
How do we start?
As a first starting point you can either send me an email through the official Contact form or directly book a first get-to-know via the Calendly snippet. Of course you can also contact/follow me on LinkedIn, Twitter or Mastodon. In our first call/meeting I will ask you what your need for my services is (specific consulting, trainings, a keynote speaker, an all-staff Security series or podcast entry etc.). Afterwards I will draft a proposal and we will realign. It's as simple as that.
Are you providing specific services and counsultations to my needs and requirements?
What I am offering are Information & Cyber Security consulting, training and education services. Of course I am aligning those based on your background, environment and requirements (e.g. Small-to-Middle Sized Business, Automobile, (Agile) Software Development, Critical Infrastructure etc.). I might need to look directly at your organization and infrastructure to be able to guide and manage you on how you can improve your level of Security.
Due to these possibly critical and sensitive information I might need to look at, I can offer to provide a NDA or are willing to sign an NDA provided by yourself.
What languages are you offering for your material and trainings?
Everything I do I can do either in German or in fluent business English. Depending on your needs, I can also offer to provide data and material in both languages.
When can you start?
As I am working full-time and this is my free-time dedication I am not able to immediately jump on any given timeline. But with enough preparation and planning ahead everything is manageable.
