G DATA Software AG: Antivirus, Virenschutz, Virenscanner, Internet Security

The Belgian Willems has been active in the field of IT security for over two decades. In that period, he has worked for influential institutes, such as EICAR, of which he is a co-founder and the director of press and information, several CERT associations, and the organization behind the Wildlist as well as for commercial companies, such as NOXS and Kaspersky Labs Benelux.

In his position of Security Evangelist at G Data, Eddy Willems will form the link between technical complexity and the user. He is responsible for a clear communication of G Data’s SecurityLabs towards the security community, press, distributors, resellers and end users. This means, amongst other things, organizing trainings about products, malware and security, speaking at conferences and consulting associations and companies about security.

Eddy Willems says: “G Data is a professional and dynamic company with high standards. The focus is on a range of top products in which a perfect result and simplicity go hand in hand. This, in my opinion is an exception in the security world, but it is –especially considering the recent explosion of threats- a necessity, now more than ever before. My goal is to, in collaboration with my colleagues, put G Data on the map internationally by representing G Data in numerous national and international security organizations, events and conferences.”

Dirk Hochstrate, Director of G Data: “Eddy Willems is the best expansion of our team we could ever hope for. He has an immense experience in IT security and is a well known persona in the industry. He excels at translating complicated technical terminology into everyday language. We look forward to working with him.”
