#641 ITN Secure-Ricardo Villadiego: 🛫 Cybersecurity with a Pilot’s Precision
Manage episode 492030613 series 2976974
Would you board a flight if the pilot landed safely only 99.5% of the time? Ricardo Villadiego wouldn’t—and he applies that same mindset to cybersecurity. In this high-impact episode from IT Nation Secure 2025, Joey Pinz talks with Ricardo, founder of Lumu, about precision, preparation, and protecting MSPs from EDR evasion and network breaches.
✈️ Drawing parallels between aviation and cybersecurity, Ricardo shares how checklists, training, and feedback loops apply to both flying planes and defending networks. He recalls lessons from the Miracle on the Hudson and explains why being “left of boom” isn’t optional—it’s essential.
🇨🇴 From building his first fraud prevention company in Colombia to a $2.8B exit, to scaling Lumu into a leader in network detection and response, Ricardo opens up about overcoming geographic and funding barriers as a Latino entrepreneur.
🧠 He also discusses motivation, metrics that matter (like customer retention), and how Lumu enables MSPs to self-defend in real time.
🔥 Top 3 Highlights:
- 🚨 How Lumu detects EDR evasion and provides real-time network visibility
- 🌎 Why geography shouldn’t limit innovation—and how Ricardo proved it
- 🧩 The power of closed feedback loops in cybersecurity and leadership
