Hi, I'm Matthias Maes!
Senior Cybersecurity Consultant
Who I am!
Passionate about everything technology, cybersecurity, travelling and sports related. When I'm not deploying servers, performing a security audit or dismantling any kind of antique technical device; I'm most likely on the playing field practicing with the team, scuba diving or skiing down mountains.
I'm a natively Dutch speaker but I can easily switch to English. Limited working proficiency in French.
What I do!
Ernst & Young
My professional experience started at EY Belgium as an intern and continued as a cybersecurity consultant. In this role I am working together with clients to assess and improve the cyber resilience of their IT environment. I specialize in attack and penetration testing, incident response, cloud architecture. In orer to attain the objective set forward by the client, I coordinate a small team of cybersecurity professionals.
Sports
On weekends I spend most of my time training and participating in competitive sports myself or coaching the younger generation trying to pass on some of my experience gathered over the more than ten years of competitive sports in national leagues. As of 2019 I'm responsible for coordinating the youth devision, this role involves planning and organizing the training and competitive leagues of the almost 200 youth players and 25 youth coaches.
Firefighter
I'm currently participating in the selections and training to become a volunteer firefighter in the near future.
Restaurant Kitchen
In order to prevent spending all my time behind a computer screen, I recently started as an assistant in the kitchen of a restaurant in the evening and in the weekend. There is not quite like the high paced environment of a kitchen!
