The Real Cyber

with Ralph Echemendia

and Special Guest: Kieran Fitzgerald, Screenwriter (Snowden)

Deepfakes. Hacking. Hollywood. What’s real?

Welcome to my Page

You may have seen one of my recent TV appearances, heard me on the radio, or read an article about my work.

If what we talked about made you curious about how cyber attacks really work, I’d like to invite you to meet me at MSP GLOBAL, October 21–22 at PortAventura.

On the afternoon of October 22, I’ve put together a special program for you: THE REAL CYBER.

We’ll look behind the headlines and the Hollywood version of cybersecurity to understand what’s actually real — from deepfakes and social engineering to Mr. Robot and Snowden.

—Ralph

When and where?

Thu, October 22

Welcome to MSP GLOBAL

Explore MSP GLOBAL and meet the companies and people behind Managed IT Services, cybersecurity, cloud and infrastructure.


Jake Moore

Can you trust who you see?

The person on your next video call looks real. Sounds real. Knows who you are.

But are they real?

Jake shows how AI and deepfakes are changing identity and social engineering.


Ralph Echemendia

Allsafe was you

Ralph helped make the hacking in Mr. Robot real. He also worked closely with Oliver Stone as Technical Supervisor on Snowden.

Now he takes you behind the screen: how real attacks work, how Hollywood turns hacking into a story — and what it gets right.


Screening + AMA

Oliver Stone’s Snowden special screening and behind-the-scenes AMA

Special screening + behind-the-scenes AMA

Watch Oliver Stone’s Snowden with someone who actually helped make it. As Technical Supervisor, Ralph worked with Oliver Stone, the production team and actors to make the technology authentic — while also helping secure one of Hollywood’s most sensitive productions.

After the film, Ralph is joined by Snowden screenwriter Kieran Fitzgerald. One of them made the technology authentic and the other turned the story into a script. Together they open the floor: What was real? What was Hollywood? What happened behind the scenes?
