René de Groot
Researcher Level 2
In 2023, I joined the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) as a Researcher, focusing on identifying and responsibly reporting security vulnerabilities to help strengthen digital infrastructure. At DIVD, we value transparency, integrity, and collaboration, working with partners around the world to make the internet safer for everyone. My dedication to cybersecurity extends beyond my work at DIVD. I hold a Master of Science in Information Technology, along with several industry-specific certifications, and have a strong personal interest in open-source technologies and the broader security ecosystem. By combining my technical expertise with a passion for open-source innovation, I aim to help build a more secure and resilient digital future.
