In this bonus episode of Security Intelligence, host Matt Kosinski talks to Joe Xatruch about the Cyber Cluster, a public-private-academic alliance that’s turning Costa Rica into a global hub for cybersecurity talent and services.

Joe shares what inspired the cluster, the obstacles they had to tackle to get it off the ground and the benefits it’s brought to people and organizations across the country. Plus—why the model is spreading, and why that’s great news.

This is what a collaborative approach to cybersecurity really looks like. And it turns out it’s even better than the hype.

All that and more on Security Intelligence.
