My name is Nicolò Viero, I'm a 24-year-old Cyber Security Specialist based in Italy with a passion for protecting people and businesses from the ever-evolving threat of cyber attacks. I got my start in the industry as a curious teenager, always looking for ways to test the limits of computer systems. After realizing that my skills could be put to better use helping people stay safe online, I decided to turn my hobby into a career. I have a deep understanding of the ever-evolving threat landscape and know just how to keep your personal and professional information safe. When I'm not busy keeping the internet safe, you can find me exploring the latest security trends and technologies, programming or travelling. I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences. I think that's what makes me good at what I do, I'm never satisfied with the status quo, always looking for new and innovative ways to keep you safe online.
