Christophe Vantongelen

Cybersecurity Coordinator @ Agoria

Brussel, België

In the last 20 years, I used to work as IT System Administrator, Information Mgr, IT Support, Web dev. and projects manager. This versatility allowed me to diversify my experience and prepared me for positions in a wide variety of sectors such as: marketing, finance, engineering, real estate and international administration. In order to keep my knowledge up to date, I passed: - 5 Microsoft Windows Server certifications (MCITP) - a Master's degree @Solvay in "Information Security Management" (Leadership education for CISO & Cybersecurity professionals). - many trainings about ITIL, ISO 27001, CISM, CISSP, COMPTIA Security+ ... I have delivered large technology projects on schedule/on budget and in alignment with the business strategy, including planning and practical implementation phases: file naming plan, reorganizations, purchasing, moving / optimization and virtualization of IT infrastructures (local & multi sites)...
