Levesque, based in Taos, New Mexico, is urging builders, creators, and everyday users to take a more intentional role in shaping a safer digital future.

Why it matters

As cyberattacks and data breaches continue to rise, Levesque believes the tech industry and general public need to be more proactive in developing secure digital solutions and practices. His call for "thoughtful innovation" aims to shift the focus from reactive measures to a more holistic, user-centric approach to cybersecurity.

Levesque, who has over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, argues that many current cybersecurity products and services are designed without enough consideration for the needs and behaviors of real-world users. He believes the industry must do more to understand how people actually use technology in order to build systems that are both secure and intuitive.
