Enterprise-grade cybersecurity, scaled for growing businesses. 20+ years of experience, military intelligence roots, and certified expertise — applied directly to your threat landscape, without the enterprise price tag.
Every service is delivered by a seasoned principal analyst — not a junior team reading from a playbook.
We're not a large reseller or a generalist IT shop that does "a bit of security". We do one thing and we do it to a high standard.
Johan's threat-hunting instincts were built in military intelligence before being applied across 20+ years of corporate security. That adversary-first thinking — profiling actors, anticipating moves, closing gaps — is embedded into every engagement. You're getting a certified principal analyst (ISC2 SSCP, CompTIA CySA+, EC-Council), not a junior following a playbook.
SMEs face real, targeted threats — ransomware operators, business email compromise, supply chain attacks. We build protection strategies around what actually targets businesses like yours, not generic framework checklists.
Technical depth where it counts, plain language where it matters. Whether you need a board-ready risk summary or a granular Sentinel rule, we match the output to the audience — every time.
hackerstopped is the consultancy of Johan Brider — a principal information security analyst, ex-Military Intelligence operator, and certified cybersecurity practitioner with over 20 years of hands-on experience spanning detection engineering, threat intelligence, incident response, and MSP security leadership.
Johan's security instincts were forged in military intelligence before being applied across two decades of corporate environments — from running his own 18-year cybersecurity consultancy (Brider Security) to leading SOC engineering at enterprise level with NTT DATA. That adversary-first mindset is what separates hackerstopped from generalist IT providers.
Every engagement is personal and direct. No account managers, no handoffs — just principal-level expertise applied to your specific threat landscape.
