I hold an MBA in Executive Management in Information Technology, an MBA in Technological Innovation in Communication and Networks, and an Associate Degree in Information Technology Systems. This background has equipped me with a deep understanding of industry standards and regulations for compliance, proficiency in security software and tools, and expertise in securing network infrastructures.During my tenure as Manager, IT Security Specialist at FEBRABAN, the Brazilian Federation of Banks, I took on the coordination of the Cyber Lab, one of the most challenging and significant roles in my career. I was involved from the project's inception, including hiring the architect and designing the space. I led all phases of development, creating a Cyber Lab that has become a benchmark for cybersecurity in Brazil and Latin America. This initiative fostered collaboration among financial institutions to enhance cyber intelligence, training, and resilience against emerging threats, improving the security framework of Brazilian banks, promoting knowledge sharing, and creating a unified response to cyber risks in the financial industry.IF YOU LOVE IT AND CYBER AS MUCH AS I DO.
