The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) is launching a ‘Belgian Wall of Fame’, an initiative aimed at highlighting the exceptional contribution of ethical hackers working to protect the national digital infrastructure.
As true guardians of our digital ecosystem, ethical hackers are an essential link in the country's cybersecurity strategy. Thanks to their vigilance and responsible approach to detecting and reporting vulnerabilities, they enable potential threats to be anticipated and neutralised before they can be exploited maliciously. Their technical expertise, combined with their civic commitment, is a major asset in ensuring the digital security of citizens, the economic fabric and public institutions.
Well-deserved recognition for decisive contributions
The Belgian Wall of Fame, now available online (via https://ccb.belgium.be/cert/vulnerability-reporting-ccb/wall-of-fame), honours dozens of security researchers who have reported critical vulnerabilities in accordance with the principles of responsible disclosure. This initiative goes beyond mere symbolic recognition to serve as a concrete expression of gratitude and a catalyst for collaboration between public services and the cybersecurity expert ecosystem.
This initiative follows on from the major legislative advance in February 2023, when Belgium adopted an innovative legal framework legitimising IT vulnerability research activities carried out by ethical hackers, subject to specific conditions.
The CCB calls on the entire ethical hacker community to continue to put their know-how and expertise at the service of the public interest.
