Two Talks. One Mission: Outsmart the Adversary at CyberSec Europe

Cyber threats are evolving. Are you?  This year at CyberSec Europe, Exclusive Networks brings not one, but two unmissable sessions that will take you from cyber strategy to real-world defense, guided by two of our sharpest minds: Stijn Van Hoof and Davy De Mits.

Whether you’re mapping out your company’s security direction or navigating the daily pressures of operational defense, these sessions will inspire, challenge, and arm you with the tools to stay one step ahead.

Session 1 — CISO Strategy: Manage Risk, Not Crisis!

Speakers: Stijn Van Hoof & Davy De Mits
Main Stage – 22/05/2025 – 11h50

Forget chasing fires — it’s time to think like an attacker and to defend like a pro.

In this eye-opening keynote, Stijn & Davy invite you to step inside the minds of modern adversaries. Discover what drives them, how they pick their targets, and how you can use that knowledge to flip the power dynamic.

But there’s more. On the flip side of the cyber coin is you — the CISO or security leader — tasked with turning insight into action. Stijn & Davy break down how to:

• • Align security with business outcomes
  • Build a proactive, not reactive, security culture
  • Lead with resilience and purpose

The goal? Reduce risk before it becomes crisis. Because true security starts at the top.

Session 2 — Operational CISO: Into the Cyber Battlefield

Speakers: Stijn Van Hoof & Davy De Mits
Theater Session – 22 may 2025 – 13h00

Now that you’ve seen the strategy — it’s time to enter the trenches.  Stijn & Davy take you straight into real-world attack scenarios, showing how modern adversaries breach defenses, escalate privilege, and launch full-blown digital chaos. But it’s not just about the attack — it’s about your response.

Using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, Stijn & Davy guide you through:

• • Today’s most common attack paths
  • How to contain and disrupt an attack in real-time
  • How to bounce back stronger, faster, and smarter

Expect a highly practical session packed with tactical insights to help fine-tune your security stack and sharpen your response team.

Why These Sessions Matter

Together, these presentations offer a 360° view of cybersecurity:

• • From board-level vision to operational execution
  • From threat awareness to tactical response
  • From prevention to resilience

If you’re serious about protecting your business — this is where you need to be.
