I’m honored to have been invited to speak at NATO HQ in Brussels about both my new cyber-thriller The Virus ( Uitgeverij Lannoo ) (co-authored with Alain Dierckx) and my earlier non-fiction book Cyberdanger ( Springer Nature ).
Sharing insights on cyber threats, digital resilience, and the evolving landscape of cybersecurity at such an important international institution is always a privilege. It was inspiring to discuss how fiction and reality often meet in our field — and why awareness remains our strongest defense.
A big thank you to everyone at NATO for the warm welcome and the engaging conversations. Onwards to more awareness, more dialogue, and stronger cyber resilience for all.
In the pictures you can find Claudio Solano (NATO), Alain Dierckx (co-author The Virus), me and Ulrich Seldeslachts (LSEC, sponsor of the translation of The Virus and host of the CYSSME and CYSSDE EU-based projects where the book was used as a tool).

People! A good Samaritan isn't good! That's the thing with the good Samaritan is that a Samaritan wasn't good...but in their minds they were good people and everything else had to be destroyed, a Samaritan would assist you from a rock to a harder place. Watch the Stark Trek Next Generation Samaritan episodes, they are autogenerated episodes. #samaritanvirus #andromedanvirus #thevirus #theborg #venusvirus
