Ramiëlla Ramos
My name is Ramiëlla Ramos, a Security Consultant with a background in law and criminology. After starting my career in the legal field, I transitioned into cybersecurity, where I now specialize in the GRC domain focusing on risk management, security awareness and implementing frameworks such as BIO 2.0 and NIS2 to help clients meet compliance and resilience goals. I’ve worked with both public and private sector clients, including the Ministry of Justice and Security, combining technical expertise with strong communication and advisory skills. My experience as a top-level athlete has shaped me into a resilient, goal-driven team player. I’m passionate about making the field more inclusive and accessible for women and young professionals.
Session
In this talk, I share my personal journey from studying law and competing in top-level sports to building a career in cybersecurity. Without a technical background, I’ve carved out a successful path by leaning into my strongest assets: communication, empathy, and adaptability. I highlight how soft skills are essential in a field often dominated by tools and technology. Drawing from my experience in the GRC domain, I explain how awareness can shift security from being just a policy to becoming part of an organization’s culture. My story is about the power of soft skills and the human side of cyber — how trust, connection, and collaboration are the real drivers of lasting security.
