With an extensive background in various disciplines within the intelligence community, Cato’s operational experience is second to none. His passion for developing concepts and nurturing talent has led him to spearhead groundbreaking initiatives and take on significant responsibilities throughout his career. Notably, Cato holds the prestigious clearance of “Cosmic Top Secret,” showcasing the trust placed in him with sensitive and classified information.
As a project leader, Cato has successfully driven several innovative tech solutions, led sprints, and organized interdisciplinary gatherings with great results. He also played a pivotal role in enhancing and training frontline operations in both the UDI and UD for national and international case processing. Notably, he was instrumental in establishing an OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) section. His ability to blend legal, technical, and hands-on skills enables him to identify both problems and solutions that others might overlook. Whether as a team leader or a team member, Cato excels in both roles.
Having worked in an environment focused on bypassing preventive measures, Cato has gained valuable knowledge of technical requirements and ISMS architecture. His experience allows him to effectively discern actual threats from theoretical ones, offering valuable insights into the mind of an attacker.
Cato’s curiosity for cutting-edge technologies and his dedication to their optimal application drives him to explore the boundaries of his field. He understands that vulnerabilities often lie at the periphery of a system. Additionally, Cato is client-focused, never hesitating to ask the tough questions when necessary.
