Advancio Talks Season 2 – Episode 12 with Peter Schawaker

Host Carlos Ponce sits down with the CEO who’s rewriting the playbook on cybersecurity talent acquisition. Peter has spent two decades transforming how organizations defend themselves – not just through better technology, but by discovering where the world’s best security minds actually live. His approach challenges everything we thought we knew about building SOC teams and scaling SIEM operations. While most companies compete for the same overpriced talent pool, Peter’s Nearshore Cyber connects enterprises with elite cybersecurity professionals from emerging markets, delivering enterprise-grade expertise without the Silicon Valley price tag. Fresh perspectives on: → Why traditional cybersecurity hiring is fundamentally broken → How emerging markets are producing world-class security talent → Building scalable SOC operations without burning budgets → The future of global cybersecurity workforce strategies From his leadership at Agio and Optiv, Peter brings insights on what works when your digital survival depends on the right security minds.
