LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 1, 2025--
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.

Resecurity to Accelerate LGPD Compliance in Brazil
CATIA LA MAR, Venezuela (AP) — Black smoke from fires in flattened buildings and the smell of decomposing bodies spread across ruins Thursday, eight days after Venezuela’s devastating earthquakes, while rescue teams pulled on a thread of hope that they might still find survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
As officials carried body bags and stacked caskets in the port city of Catia La Mar, joy briefly broke through the pervading misery that has blanketed Venezuela's northern La Guaira on Thursday morning when rescue teams pulled a 43-year-old man out of the rubble he was buried under for nearly eight days.
Rescuers from across the Americas had worked for about 100 hours to pull Hernán Alberto Gil Flores from the collapsed shopping mall under which he was buried. Trapped in an air pocket, he'd survived on the water and sustenance rescuers passed him through the rubble. He was pulled out of the ruins on a stretcher and was carried to an ambulance as throngs of people cheered in a rare moment of victory.
Thousands more did not make it that far.
Venezuela's government said as of Wednesday that at least 2,295 were killed and more than 11,000 were wounded. Thousands more were sleeping in crowded shelters or outside, or remained missing as family members searched the rubble. The aftermath has left medics worried that the fallout could pave the way for a widening medical crisis of untreated injuries and infectious diseases in a healthcare system already on the brink.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez continued to face mounting criticisms by Venezuelans over the government’s inadequate handling of the earthquakes — civilian and international rescue efforts have far overshadowed the Venezuelan government response.
The criticism came just a day before the extension of Rodríguez’s 180-day mandate as acting leader was set to expire. Rodríguez served as deputy to former President Nicolás Maduro until he was ousted by the United States in January and she became interim leader with the backing of the Trump administration.
With little transparency by Venezuelan officials, it was unclear what would happen once the deadline passes on Friday.
Under Venezuela’s constitution, temporary absences are to be filled by the vice president — which was Rodríguez’s former role — for up to 90 days. These interim appointments can be extended by the national assembly for an additional 90 days.
The Venezuelan leader has strong support from lawmakers and the Trump administration. The National Assembly, controlled by Rodríguez’s party, can trigger a snap election if lawmakers declare the post permanently vacant.
Since ousting Maduro, the U.S. has played an increasing role in Venezuelan affairs, in a seismic shift to relations between the historically adversarial nations.
The Trump administration has thrown support behind Rodríguez, increasingly turned their backs on opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, who this week accused Rodríguez's government of blocking her return to her country. The government has also sought to remake Venezuela's oil industry, and has opened to door for Venezuela's state oil company to sell fuel to U.S. companies.
The U.S. continued to throw support behind her government Wednesday in the face of criticism, and officials said there were 900 military personnel currently on the ground to support relief and rescue operations.
John M. Barrett, the U.S. chargé d’affaires to Venezuela, pushed back against accusations that Rodríguez was politicizing response efforts in a call with reporters, saying the U.S. response “does require a high level of coordination with local authorities to be successful.” He added that Venezuela’s oil and gas production was not directly impacted by the earthquakes, and said production continues to increase.
"What I can say with confidence is that the local authorities have fully complied with our requests and have accelerated this massive humanitarian response,” Barrett said.
Gen. Francis Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, added during the call that “decades of poor investment in the people of Venezuela” had “made this even more challenging for the current government.”
“It is a big problem for any leader to deal with a challenge of this magnitude,” Donovan said.
Janetsky reported from Mexico City. Associated Press journalists Ben Finley in Washington D.C and Gabriela Aoun Angueira in San Diego contributed to this report.
Corrects that the deadline for the acting president expires on Friday, not Thursday.
