Honored that The Virus was reviewed by Byron Acohido , Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist.
He calls it “part memoir, part cautionary tale” and a realistic simulation of an AI-driven global malware outbreak “more a wake-up call than a novel.”

I’m truly honored to share that last week brought me three remarkable recognitions on two different continents:
AVAR Hall of Honor (AWARD), Best Speaker AWARD for our duo presentation SESE (together with Righard Zwienenberg), Finalist for the Belgian Cyber Security Personality of the Year!
I’ve had the privilege of speaking on television for more than 100 different broadcasters from global networks like CNN and BBC News to national and local outlets: VRT and VTM, reaching audiences worldwide. This week a bittersweet milestone: my 100th TV-station appearance via the Czech TV Nova.
Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking for NEOS in Kampenhout (Belgium), an organisation that brings together active seniors. Cybersecurity awareness isn’t just a topic for experts, companies, or the younger generation. It’s a lifelong necessity. #cybersecurity #awareness
I’m honored to have been invited to speak at NATO HQ in Brussels about both my new cyber-thriller The Virus ( Uitgeverij Lannoo ) (co-authored with Alain Dierckx) and my earlier non-fiction book Cyberdanger ( Springer Nature ).

As I celebrate 30 years of WAVCi.com this week I want to thank everyone who visited the site, used its information, or reached out to me because of it. The journey of cybersecurity is far from over, but it’s worth pausing every now and then to reflect on the path we’ve walked.

Not my usual crowd, but definitely interesting in these strange geopolitical times.
Last week, Righard Zwienenberg and I were invited to the AV-Comparatives 2025 annual award event (Innsbruck, Austria) to deliver one of our keynotes for the core of the security industry. I also moderated an intensive 'debate session' about state sponsored cyber attacks. Both were well received.
