A couple of large projects, involving the response to and resolution of IT security breaches in some NZ and Australian Banks, Corporates and Telecommunication Companies, Arjen set to design an in-house tool for the keeping track of Security Issues and Vulnerabilities in 1998. Customers invited Co-Logic in 1999 to expand this tool and make it available as a Service for their own use: E-Secure-IT was born.

    In 2001 Arjen decided to fully focus on further developing E-Secure-IT and established Co-Logic Security Ltd. With Head offices in New Zealand, E-Secure-IT IT Security Action Response Centers are now established in New Zealand (Auckland), India (Calcutta), Europe (Netherlands), with a fourth Centre to be established in the US this year.

    A European Investment Firm took an interest in the company in 2005, and with their financial backing, 10 years of dedicated IT Security Experience, 6 years of experience in running the Alert Service and feedback from the many customers in the Asia Pacific Region, E-Secure-IT was completely re-designed and re-written, and launched in Europe and the US in 2006.

    Through his interest in Unix (starting in 1979) and IT Security over the years Arjen has been a board member at the NZ UNIFORUM (1985-86), involved in the NZCS (New Zealand Computer Society), the NZISF, the NZ Information Security Forum, and been the New Zealand representative IT and Telecommunication for the PECC (Pacific Economic Co-operation Council), the founding body of the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Council) until he moved back to Europe in mid 2003, to spearhead the European and US expansion of Co-Logic Security.
