Ricardo Negrão is a cybersecurity, cyber risk, and information systems consultant, best known for a path that took him from a decade as a molecular genetics researcher, trained in biochemistry, into technology, having been both a hacker and a victim of hacking.

At The Epic Talent Society, Ricardo brings his Cyber Security talk, opening with a stark reality: a cyber attack can shut down your business.

In an era where security incidents are inevitable, the question is how we identify the business assets worth protecting and design safeguards and redundancy for when an attack comes, given that sixty percent of small businesses hit by a cyberattack close within six months.

As a speaker, Ricardo shows that the keyword in cyber risk is risk, and that real protection is multilevel security that begins with individual responsibility.

On the frontier of cyber, Ricardo challenges every one of us to learn to identify the business assets to protect, because security begins with each of us.
