Cybersecurity Intelligence Advisor

Carlo Castañeda

WASHINGTON, DC

​​A combat-decorated veteran and seasoned cybersecurity and intelligence professional, Carlo brings more than a decade of experience evaluating how technology shifts—cloud migration, AI adoption, critical infrastructure changes—create exposure that boards don't yet see. His work spans energy, federal, and cross-sector risk landscapes, where he has helped government, utility, and business stakeholders align threat visibility, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience.

​

At Lauruse, Carlo helps boards understand where their technology and AI investments are creating blind spots—in data protection, cloud architecture, geopolitical risk, or workforce resilience—before regulators, competitors, or threat actors find them. He is known for translating complex technical and policy issues into practical business decisions and for building consensus between security and strategy teams.
