Seara, the visionary Founder and CEO of DeNexus. Transitioning from a successful career in renewable energy to tackling the pressing challenges of cybersecurity in operational technology, Seara shares his journey and the pivotal experiences that shaped his current venture.

His insights reveal the vulnerabilities of legacy systems and the escalating risks posed by state-sponsored attacks, emphasizing the importance of resilience and swift, informed response to cyber incidents.

Seara's expertise and DeNexus' innovative approach present a compelling narrative on the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and the strategic responses needed to safeguard our collective digital future.
