Senior🎓
Top SchoolKoos Van Den Hout is an information security specialist with eight years of focused experience and over two decades in systems and network administration across mixed Unix/Windows environments. Based at Universiteit Utrecht, he drives security policy renewal, incident handling and practical security guidance for research and higher-education projects, balancing openness, availability and protection. He chairs the university’s Computer Emergency Response Team and contributes to national-level incident response through SURFcert, bringing hands-on DDoS mitigation and network hygiene experience.
