Amsterdam, The Netherlands - (The Hosting News) - October 6, 2008 - International business hosting services firm, LeaseWeb, has appointed the co-founder of INHOPE, the European Association of Internet Hotlines, Alex de Joode, as its Security Officer.

As Security Officer, Mr. de Joode will engage in combating cybercrime as well as monitoring the extensive hosting network of LeaseWeb. In this role he will report directly to the Management Team of LeaseWeb.

As Security Officer De Joode will be responsible for Abuse Handling, Information Security, Business Continuity Management and Regulatory Affairs. Mr. De Joode noted, ”I have a lot of experience in abuse policy and handling abuse. But security is also a real hobby of mine.
