I'm sorry. This a Brazilian-Portuguese blog about information security and cyber culture - mostly. There is no post in English.

I'm aware that keeping this blog in Portuguese limits the target audience, however please keep in mind that there are quite a few good sources of infosec-related information in Portuguese. So, I decided to focus my blog on the audience that needs more security-related content.

According to a Catho survey from 2011, only 11 percent of Brazilian job candidates could communicate well in English, and only 3.4 percent of all candidates could speak fluent English. In addition, a 2009 Catho study found that 24 percent of Brazilian professionals speak fluent English, and that only 8 percent of Brazilian executives speak fluent English. As you can see, unfortunately there is a huge group of IT professionals that need good content in Portuguese, and this blog is for them.

Please, feel free to use Google Translator to read my blog. I'm sorry about the inconvenience.
