Matteo Cafasso is a Helsinki-based VP of Protection Services with 13 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native security and data platforms. He blends hands-on systems engineering—kernel and filesystem forensics, message queue internals, and automation for malware analysis—with strategic leadership in data governance and protection services at CUJO AI and F-Secure. A pragmatic software architect, he has contributed to notable open-source projects such as SleuthKit, libguestfs and RabbitMQ, delivering filesystem tooling, forensic utilities and robust queue semantics. Matteo’s background spans AWS, KVM/OpenStack, Kafka, Spark and test automation, and he often surfaces low-level insights (inode-level file recovery, snapshot instrumentation) that drive practical improvements in observability and incident response.
