About

My name is Nelson Lopes, I am an IT Manager in a group of companies and the founder of YourInfoSec.

This blog aims to raise awareness among its visitors regarding the protection of their online accounts, devices, networks, etc. Every day, we witness news reports about innocent people falling into traps originating from fraudulent phone calls, emails, or messages, resulting in the transfer of a certain amount from the victim’s bank account to the scammer’s account.

On the professional side, companies are attacked, with the personal data of their customers, suppliers, and employees being stolen. These incidents often leave operations halted for days or weeks, not to mention the impact on their reputation. Believe me, the news we hear is a very, very small percentage of the attacks that occur.

After several years of implementing IT projects, always with security and privacy in mind, I felt the need to start sharing the experience and knowledge I have acquired. All the questions frequently asked by family, friends, and colleagues helped me decide to find a way to spread concerns regarding information protection.

The fact that I observe daily the lack of knowledge and care among the majority of computer system users (not just beginners, but also experienced professionals) is the catalyst that keeps me motivated on this journey.

Join me for a while and see how exciting this field is. The website address is YourInfoSec.com – add it to your browser favorites now!
