Meet your instructor

Juris Puce

Juris Puce

Hi, my name is Juris. I enjoy sharing the knowledge (including failures) I have accumulated in working with cybersecurity as a CISO, consultant, and auditor for the last twenty-plus years. 

I am a technology entrepreneur with almost 14 years of experience in AI, organizing development teams, and building software platforms, SaaS, fintech, and health tech companies. I hope to share practical examples of how to apply the cybersecurity "do's" and "do n'ts " and guide you on your journey.

I aim to make cybersecurity understandable and bring as many organizations and you as possible closer to a "state of cybersecurity."
