Joep Gommers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joep Gommers (born on 2 July 1984 in Breda) is a Dutch security and intelligence professional from the Netherlands.
Joep became known among Security professionals after an article of his writing appeared on the technology-related news website slashdot on January 23, 2006, stating that "current approaches to Information Security are fundamentally wrong"[1]. With this, and other ideas, he gives talks at conferences, universities and communities throughout Europe. He is relatively unknown outside the European Security community.
From January 2000 to January 2003 he was a programmer and consultant for iKloak, a Dutch vendor of security products. In October 2004 he left the company as technical director of Research and Development. After working for the Dutch security company Kahuna in 2005, he is now employed by Motiv IT Masters as a consultant.
He is nominated for a subject-matter expert status on Security related subjects for the Sixth EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6). Joep Gommers is also listed as one of the experts in the Dutch knowledge network kennisportal[2].
