Vinicius Da Costa

I am currently a Senior Vice President at Bank of America responsible for delivering Zero Trust Architecture. I have been an Information Technology & Security professional for 25+ years in financial services, retail and consumer goods industries.

I advocate for broadening participation in the computing industry through volunteering with a Citizen Schools program to enhance education of low income children. I also was Chair of the Hispanic Information Technology Executive Council Foundation (HITEC) internship program, and was a Board member at Association of Latino Professionals for America Charlotte (ALPFA). My goal as a professor is to bring the latest security architecture models, trends and work on real and current cybersecurity challenges faced by individuals, companies and governments.

I have a Master’s Degree in Information and Cybersecurity from UC Berkeley, I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish.
