There are many roads to success and a CV should not be a one-way street. My career has been varied, ranging from electronics and communications engineering to industrial engineering with a focus on process engineering. I've always had a passion for technology, especially computers, and I've always had a drive to understand technology in detail. In 2012, I started experimenting with Kali Linux (back when it was called Backtrack) and even tried to hack my own home Wi-Fi.

Keeping Up With the Times

The field of information security is constantly evolving. A core principle at RedOps is my commitment to continuous learning, using my curiosity and inquisitiveness to ensure that my customers' security is based on the latest advances in offensive security.

I don't just rely on the insights of other community members - I actively engage in my own research and innovation.

Thinking About the Day After Tomorrow

In my view, organisations that focus solely on the technical aspects of IT security through penetration testing are taking a short-sighted approach. A sophisticated security strategy requires organizations to not only address technical vulnerabilities, but also prepare for real-world cyber-attack scenarios, including tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), in order to continually build strong cyber resilience.

The company's tagline captures this ethos: Challenging Defenses and Developing Defenders. With RedOps, my vision is to help organizations develop robust resilience against cyber-attacks. On the one hand, I aim to improve your technical IT security through penetration testing; on the other hand, I focus on building the capabilities of your internal defenders through red teaming and simulated breach exercises.
