Yago Hansen is a seasoned freelance IT and cybersecurity consultant based in Madrid with over 15 years delivering high-stakes security projects for national security, intelligence, defense and major financial institutions. An ethical hacker and Red Team instructor, he blends hands-on offensive operations, cloud security (AWS, DevSecOps, CI/CD) and Wi‑Fi pentesting with program and project management experience. He co-founded and led an R&D startup that designed an embedded communications interception system later acquired for $2.1M, demonstrating his ability to take hardware-software products from concept to commercial exit. A prolific international trainer and conference speaker, he routinely trains security forces and corporate teams in offensive and wireless techniques while also consulting on incident response, ransomware and forensic investigations.
