Business Wire

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As Brazilian enterprises, government institutions, and infrastructure providers work to meet Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) requirements, Resecurity ®, a U.S.-based global leader in cybersecurity and threat intelligence, is expanding its operations in Brazil. The company's mission is to help accelerate LGPD compliance while strengthening cyber resilience across the region.
Failure to comply with LGPD can result in administrative sanctions by Brazil's data protection authority (ANPD), including fines of up to 2% of a company's revenue in Brazil, capped at R$50 million per infraction. In addition to regulatory risks, Brazil continues to experience high levels of cybercrime, including data breaches and ransomware attacks. This makes compliance with LGPD not only a legal issue but also a fundamental cybersecurity concern.
Resecurity's Strategic Contribution to LGPD Compliance
Resecurity's expansion into Brazil brings advanced cybersecurity and compliance technologies designed to support organizations in aligning with LGPD. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the core principles of data protection and privacy.
Resecurity's data cyber threat intelligence platform continuously scans the surface, deep, and dark web to detect compromised personal information. This includes leaked customer records, credentials, or sensitive employee data. Organizations can identify potential violations early, mitigate reputational harm, and prevent identity theft or financial fraud.
The platform integrates artificial intelligence (AI) to automate regulatory workflows. This includes risk scoring, compliance checklists, incident logging, and report generation. Automation reduces human error and accelerates the path to full LGPD compliance.
Local Leadership: Luiz Cota Joins as Territory Manager in Brazil
To support its regional strategy, Resecurity has appointed Luiz Cota as Territory Manager for Brazil. With over 30 years of experience in cybersecurity and information technology, Luiz brings deep domain expertise and a proven track record of delivering value to clients across Latin America.
He previously held leadership roles at companies including Cisco, IronPort, SurfControl, Fidelis, and Offensive Security. In addition, Luiz founded Brazil's first cyber-insurance brokerage and has advised numerous startups on cybersecurity and risk mitigation.
' Brazilian organizations are facing increasing pressure to comply with LGPD and protect sensitive data in a fast-evolving threat environment. Resecurity brings proven expertise in threat intelligence, risk management, and compliance automation, capabilities that are urgently needed in our region. I'm excited to help local businesses and public institutions strengthen their cyber resilience and take a proactive stance against emerging threats.' — Luiz Cota, Territory Manager, Brazil at Resecurity.
