- You have a strong interest in cybersecurity and a clear motivation to further develop your expertise in this field.

- You possess strong communication skills in English and Dutch or French.
- Detail oriented, problem solving skilled, client focused, with a pragmatic approach
- You enjoy working collaboratively and are motivated to engage with multidisciplinary teams, both within cybersecurity and across related domains (e.g., AI, Risk, Technology Consulting).
