Johannes is one of the leading internet scanning experts in the German-speaking region and shapes the technological core of Alpha Strike. Already during his research at Freie Universität Berlin, he focused on the large-scale analysis of systems exposed on the internet – from industrial control systems to classic IT infrastructure. He has translated this expertise into a custom-built scanning infrastructure that today forms the foundation of our Attack Surface Platform. As Co-CEO, Johannes is responsible for the strategic and technological development of Alpha Strike, ensuring that our customers receive a precise, up-to-date, and comprehensive view of their attack surface.

Mission: Get the hacker’s perspective.
Alpha Strike was born from one clear specialization: Internet Scanning. Our team is among the most experienced in the DACH region when it comes to systematically scanning the entire internet, reliably identifying exposed systems, and putting them into a meaningful security context. This expertise is the very root of our product – every capability of our Attack Surface Platform (ASP) is built on years of research, on scanning technology we developed ourselves, and on a deep understanding of what really happens on the open internet.
From this foundation, we have continued to expand: we combine internet-wide scanning with threat intelligence, darknet monitoring, and offensive security to give organizations a complete picture of their digital attack surface. Our team brings together expertise from penetration testing, red teaming, vulnerability research, and software engineering – and channels this knowledge directly into the products and services our customers rely on every day to identify risks before attackers do.

With more than a decade of experience in offensive security – from penetration testing and red teaming to security research on wireless protocols – he has presented internationally at conferences such as Black Hat and is a sought-after expert in both industry and research. At Alpha Strike, Tobias translates this deep understanding of modern attack techniques into products and services that help organizations realistically assess and prioritize their risks. As Co-CEO, he is responsible for the strategic direction and growth of Alpha Strike and stands for the vision of a company that consistently thinks about defense from the attacker’s point of view.
