Hacker Minded's Story
Hacker Minded was founded by Tom Van de Wiele, drawing on over 23 years of authentic, international cybersecurity experience. From uncovering industrial espionage rings and hacking power plants and ATMs to taking remote control of container ships and mainframes, Tom’s career has been a masterclass in ethical hacking and security consulting. He now shares his expertise as a public speaker, advisor, consultant, and instructor on cybersecurity and technology.
Recognizing that the industry and organizations need a more personalized approach that is bespoke and expert rather than generic and handled by generalists, Hacker Minded was born. Our mission is to help organizations develop a robust cybersecurity culture that goes far beyond mere compliance, wishful thinking or technical solutionism.
At Hacker Minded we believe that true cybersecurity isn’t about marketing slogans or an annual multiple-choice quiz, it’s about building a resilient, informed, and proactive defense strategy tailored to your unique challenges and empowered by the people of your own organisation, and not just their respective departments.
Get in touch and experience the difference a pragmatic expert and personalized approach can make.
