Tom Michiels’s Summary

Delivering pre-sales, consultancy and business development in IT security with a strong technical focus and a broad, multi-platform and multi-tier knowledge. As IT security is a quick evolving business where pro-activity and secure thinking is a must, I try to create this awareness with my business partners, colleagues and customers. Security is not plugging in an appliance or having a secure password, it is setting up a complete coherent framework where the risk on damaging your business is minimized.
