HCSS is pleased to announce that Hans Horan has joined our team as a Strategic Analyst!
An expert on the Indo-Pacific, cyber threat intelligence, and security and defence affairs, prior to joining HCSS, Hans worked for over seven years in the intelligence and security industry for both private and public sector organisations across the globe, where he served as their lead cyber intelligence and principal Asia-Pacific analyst. Hans advised a number of both private and public sector clients during this time on how to navigate growing geopolitical tensions and minimise the impact on their business operations.
Hans regularly publishes with renowned international current affairs magazines and news outlets, such as The Diplomat and NK News, on defence and security trends. Hans received his master’s degree in Asian studies from Leiden University, where he specialised in the political economies of the East Asian region (Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, and China). He earned his bachelor’s degree in International Studies at Leiden University, where he also studied politics, economics and sociology at Nagasaki University.
On joining HCSS, he stated:
“I look forward to bringing my expertise and knowledge to HCSS, a leading institution that brings fact-based knowledge to policymakers and businesses across the globe, and learning from its highly talented team. I’m particularly looking forward to helping HCSS explore security trends in the Indo-Pacific and bridge the cyber-geopolitics gaps, especially given that our society’s growing digitalisation has left us more exposed to malicious threat actors, both state-sponsored and otherwise.”
