Description:

🎙️ New Episode Alert – Cyber Distortion Podcast 🚨
Welcome back! In this episode we're diving deep into one of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity: finding the right talent. Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Roger Einstoss, co-founder of Braintly, a company revolutionizing how organizations source cybersecurity professionals from across Latin America. With decades of experience and a sharp eye for global tech talent, Roger shares insider knowledge on tapping into thriving hubs like Argentina, Brazil, and beyond.

We explore how Latin America is rapidly emerging as a hotbed for skilled cybersecurity professionals—and why North American companies are increasingly turning south of the border for outsourced expertise. Roger walks us through Braintly's unique approach to vetting and placing top-tier talent, the challenges companies face in scaling their security teams, and why understanding cultural fit is just as crucial as technical skills.

Whether you're a CISO looking to grow your team, a tech leader exploring nearshoring options, or simply curious about the evolving cybersecurity workforce, this episode delivers both practical insights and global perspective. Roger's passion for empowering Latin American professionals and building cross-border partnerships is not only inspiring—it's exactly what the cybersecurity industry needs right now.
