Meet the team
Ben Van Erck Founder
Ben has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He travelled the world to talk about it and gets great energy from working with people. But don’t be fooled: he will gladly beat you at one of his favourite board games.
Stijn Horemans
Security Advisor
Stijn performs technical security assessments for clients, ensuring that their applications and infrastructure are safe. When he is not fighting cybercrime, he is probably playing Dungeons and Dragons with his friends.
Karel Sels
Security Advisor
Karel has hands-on experience in red teaming and penetration testing. When he is not advising clients about their cybersecurity, he is probably on a nature walk with his dog Lola or entertaining the team with his jokes.
Alex Kinge Developer
Lennert Van Riel
Security Advisor
Lennert is intrigued by technical security and putting infrastructure and anything else on a computer to the test. Whenever he has some free time you will most likely find Lennert on (or in) the water as he's very passionate about sailing.
Thomas
Vanderhoydonck
Security Advisor
Thomas is an experienced security expert who thoroughly enjoys the challenge of breaking in both digitally and physically. When he is not behind a computer, he can be found discovering new places all over the world as he is an avid traveler.

Our spectrum of services
Our company name – Refracted – refers to the way light breaks up into different colours when projected through a prism. In a similar way, we use various cybersecurity techniques to protect your business: red teaming to check for your weaknesses, blue teaming to improve your defences, yellow teaming for better development. Organisations tend to depend on separate specialists for each function, which often leads to gaps where their domains touch. We involve all relevant colours in our mix, thus ensuring the best possible result.
