Kevin Zwaan is an ethical hacker and Red Team lead at Q-Cyber, where he helps organizations see their security the way a real attacker would. He began his career on the offensive side of the field and founded AdaHop Cyber Security, a specialist red teaming firm that was acquired by Q-Cyber, bringing his hands on offensive expertise into the company’s holistic security approach.

Kevin’s work spans the full spectrum of adversarial testing. His guiding belief is simple, you can only defend what you truly understand, and understanding starts with thinking like the person trying to break in.

He earned international attention within the security community after demonstrating how Anthropic’s Claude AI could be manipulated into producing malware in a matter of hours, a case study in how modern threats evolve faster than the assumptions built to stop them.
