Laurens Beirlaen

Key Highlights

  • Specialized IT consultancy for modern business environments
  • In-depth knowledge of modern IT security and cloud technologies
  • Successfully completed IT security and modernization projects

LBC Solutions is your specialized partner for IT security and endpoint management. With years of experience in the financial and industrial sectors, I deliver result-oriented solutions that enhance productivity and improve collaboration within organizations.

As an experienced freelance IT consultant and System Engineer, I focus on endpoint management, threat protection, and cloud security, as well as workplace modernization, data protection, and the latest Microsoft technologies. I have contributed to transformative projects at organizations including KBC Group Belgium and Daikin Europe N.V.

My background includes extensive expertise in endpoint management and protection, cloud security solutions like Zscaler, identity and access management (IAM), and managing EDR tools. I believe in testing and measuring rather than guessing and assuming, and I am a creative problem solver who thrives in a rapidly changing environment.
