Kris' Life
Hi all,I'm Kris Philipsen, 28 years old, living in Belgium and working in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. I live two lives.. In the first I'm Principal Consultant at Verizon Business Security Solutions, whom I've been with for over 7 years now. In the second life I am a traveler only know by the pseudonym of Kris ;) Yes, I took the red pill :P Anyways, I like to travel around the world and the following sections link to pictures of the various places I've been. I'm also author of a few IT/network security projects which may be of interest to you: issPolicy Project and PIX Logging Architecture Project. I like playing with computers, visiting new places and meeting people from different cultures however my #1 passion in life is my girlfriend Viviane that I can't live without!
