About
From cybercrime investigator to security analyst
I’m Hubert Yakpé Trolindo, a network and systems administrator turned digital forensic investigator, now moving into cybersecurity analysis. I have a strong foundation in hardware, operating systems (especially Linux) and networking, and I’ve led IT and investigation teams in the Belgian federal government.
