And between games, laughs, and fights, many ideas for projects have popped up in their minds. And one of them was this: what if we could protect the whole internet? After all, cybercrime has been growing year after year. What they soon realized is that protecting the whole internet is a task humans can’t fulfill on their own. And so, they created Ethiack, a new platform that can unleash the power of Ethical Hacking to secure technology and the people who depend on it. André is a hacker and a maker and has been recognized as the “Most Valuable Hacker” for securing organizations like Shopify, Verizon, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Jorge is an aerospace engineer with a track record of business ventures. Together, they created Ethiack.
