I'm a cybersecurity professional with over 18 years of experience in the industry. Over the years, I've worked in a wide range of industries including broadcasting, oil and gas, automotive manufacturing, financial institutions, medical devices, and IoT. My passion for hacking started when I was young, and I've been fortunate enough to turn that passion into a successful career.
Through my company, Chaosnet, I provide cybersecurity services to smaller organizations. I take a tailored approach utilizing techniques and methodologies that are often reserved to much higher security budgets. I strongly believe that cybersecurity is a matter of corporate and personal responsibility. It's not just about protecting an organization's data, but also the personal information of its customers, business partners, employees, and families.
I believe the goal of cyber security goes well beyond avoiding ransomware, or making sure internal users don’t leak confidential data, but also, and more more critical: protecting every customer, every business partner, every employee and every family member’s personal information on an internal HR database. It has become a matter of corporate and personal responsibility.
