What I offer

End-to-end coverage, from finding weaknesses to responding when an attack hits. Every engagement ends with a clear report and concrete actions.

A clear read on your current security posture, with prioritised, actionable recommendations to know exactly where you stand.

Incident response

I stay reachable when the attack hits, to contain, eradicate and restore as fast as possible.

Penetration testing

Physical, internal network and external pentests: I exploit your weaknesses before the attacker does, with a full report.

Threat hunting

Proactive search for threats already inside your environment, before they strike.

MDR (managed detection and response)

Continuous monitoring of your systems: intrusion detection and fast response, without building your own SOC.

Training

Awareness sessions, phishing campaigns and skills-building to turn your teams into a real line of defence.

GIAC Security Expert

One of the most demanding certifications in the field, proving high-level technical mastery in both offence and defence.

My background

My career began in the networks of the Belgian Defence, first as a network technician and then as a cybersecurity analyst, detecting and investigating advanced threats on classified environments, including suspected state-sponsored activity.

I then moved into incident response, investigating more than 50 incidents, including several large-scale ransomware attacks, each time identifying the initial access vector and lastingly strengthening my clients' security posture. Today I work in the financial sector, within a European incident response SOC.

I've also defended 5,000+ systems at Locked Shields, the world's largest live-fire cyber defence exercise, and served on the European Union's Cyber Rapid Response Teams (EU CRRT).

How I work

With Cyber Horizon, you don't talk to a call centre: you work directly with me. No unreadable 200-page report, but clear, prioritised findings and concrete actions your teams can actually implement. Before, during and after the engagement, I stay reachable and speak plainly.
