I am an Assistant Professor at the Security Group of the Eindhoven University of Technology, in the Netherlands. I investigate the security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to improve their defense capabilities. My research focuses in the areas of network intrusion detection and incident response. I collaborate with the Eindhoven Security Hub Security Operations Center initiative.
I was one of the three founders of the spin-off SecurityMattters, with the goal of bringing to the market SilentDefense, a platform for network monitoring, asset inventory and network intrusion detection for Industrial Control Systems. At SecurityMatters I served as the CTO, and I was responsible of the company’s R&D.

The goal of this course is to provide students with a platform to get in-depth, hands-on experience on all three of the building blocks of cyber security monitoring: network-based, host-based and log-based intrusion detection.
To do so, the course adopts a reverse classroom setup: the course starts by providing students with material covering practical and theoretical elements of security monitoring and additional material and pointers covering all three pillars, and their relationship. The students then form groups, and are able to choose one of the building blocks to explore in depth by developing a fully-fledged laboratory activity for the other students of the course to attend. The lab activities require the analysis of realistic threat scenarios and systems, with the goal of developing effective detection techniques accounting for the specificities of the proposed scenario.
The lab activities are run and coordinated, in class, by the very students that developed them. The development and delivery of these lab sessions in class is also the final examination of the course for the group of students handling it.
