I am an experienced IT Specialist with security and monitoring as a specialisation. I have gained experience in big and complex IT organisations. My interests and qualities are: mapping and analysing complex infrastructures, identifying vulnerabilities, analysing and managing security risk and compliance. Security is usually a priority, but convincing of clients, managers and system engineers requires a professional approach. I am a strong communicator and with a natural positive attitude I am able to gain trust to convince stakeholders.

I have a strong background, especially in the field of information security and monitoring technologies. I possess the CISSP, CISA, GWAPT, GPEN, CASP, CEH, MCITP/MCSE and LPI certification. Together with my broad experience as a consultant, system engineer, project leader (technical) and foreman I form the ideal mix for a succesful result. For example, I can audit hosting environments, optimalise security, set up monitoring, implement and develop security baselines, raising availability and setting security as a priority on any company agenda and keeping it there.

I can operate on several levels, both with clients, colleagues and end-users.

Strong personal skills: accurate, analytic, creative, communicative, knowledge, trustworthy, social and integrity.
