Wiebe Willems

Wiebe picked up broad IT knowledge during his studies at Odisee Ghent, where he obtained a degree in Electronics-ICT, specializing in Network Infrastructure & Security in his last year. At that time, he did not yet know where he would end up, but he knew it would have something to do with cyber security. After his studies, Wiebe began his career as a consultant at the Belgian Cyber Security team at EY. He was asked to perform penetration tests, but was also mainly part of the defensive blue team. This enabled him to gain offensive & defensive security experience in a broad number of areas, such as: • Infrastructure penetration tests • Purple team assessments • Web application penetration tests • Phishing assessments • SIEM rules engineering & configuration • Security Automation & Orchestration (SOAR) Using the experience gained during his time at EY, he evolved to a pure penetration testing, red team & adversary emulation role at NVISO, a European Cyber Security Services company. There, he applies most of the tactics, techniques & procedures used in the MITRE ATT&CK framework to assess and improve the general security posture of NVISO’s clients. Next to Cyber Security, Wiebe also has a particular interest in music, cars & sports. He is nothing near a rockstar guitar player, but he fancies a good jam when there is one – even though he only recently started playing guitar. He mainly loves watching cars, but the technology behind modern cars is of course related to his general interest in IT. He registers his occasional kilometres on his racing bike on Strava as well. Wiebe is always open for a talk – if you see him, come say hi!
