Dan Berte

Technology evangelist and product innovator with 15+ years of building consumer technology and cybersecurity products at the intersection of IoT, AI-driven security, and connected ecosystems. Creator of Bitdefender BOX, which Time Magazine called the "hero the Internet of Things deserves", a smart-home security platform licensed by NETGEAR and top-tier US ISPs, deployed across millions of routers worldwide. I've shipped products used by tens of millions of people globally, from zero-to-one hardware/software platforms to AI-assisted privacy tools.

I helped position Bitdefender as a global cybersecurity leader in Silicon Valley and led its global IoT vulnerability research program, contributing to remediation of vulnerabilities affecting billions of devices, and I translate complex technical findings into product strategy, public narratives, and actionable roadmaps. Keynote speaker at DEF CON, RSA, HackSpace Con and more. Academic author and educator.

Currently experimenting with vibe coding 101ads.org, an iOS app built with Claude that detects and maps every billboard on Silicon Valley's Route 101 as I drive it.
