Fabio Pietrosanti (naif)
Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights
President
Fabio Pietrosanti has been part of the digital underground with the nickname “naif” since 1995, while he’s been a professional working in digital security since 1998. President and co-founder of the Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights, he is active in many projects to create and spread the use of opensource tools in support of freedom of expression and government transparency.
He is among the founders of the anonymous whistleblowing GlobaLeaks project, nowadays used by investigative journalists, citizen activists and the public administration for anti-corruption purposes. Expert in technological innovation in the field of whistleblowing, transparency, communication encryption and digital anonymity.
Like to engage in techno-activistic initiatives where technology intertwined with administrative laws and a bit of trolling, bring a benefit for the public good, like with MonitoraPA that in 2022 eradicated Google Analytics from most of Italian Public Agencies with more than 100.000 PEC sent in an activistic campaign 😉
As a veteran of the hacking and free software environment, he has participated to many community projects such as Sikurezza.org, s0ftpj, Winston Smith Project, Metro Olografix, among others. Professionally, he has worked as network security manager, senior security advisor, entrepreneur and CTO of a startup in mobile voice encryption technologies.
