Hi, my name is Matteo G.P. Flora, currently living in Milano, Italy.
Security Evangelist, Forensic Examiner and New Media Consultant, most of the time I work as high level strategic consultant where expertise in various fields, such as Computer Forensics, Secure Programming, Privacy and deep knowledge of the Online Communities, is a critical factor in planning and achieving.
I help Companies to find Success, helping them in all the fields that concern Security, New Media, Social Networks, Intelligence, Crawling, Web Positioning.
I often deliver 360° Strategic Consulting for Companies and their projects.
If your Business needs a new Web Agency and you can't choose one, if you feel your contractor in Security is cheating you, if you
need to know more about this "LongTail" and "Social Networks" thing, if one of your employees turns out to be a betrayer, and more in general if you need advice and expertise in the field of Security and Web, you can contact me for an appointment and evaluate if my solutions are better or worse than yours. They're often quite good and my contacts in various fields might intrest you...
And, in case you came here from Google, I have to confirm that YES, I am the guy of "Mediaset vs. Youtube" even if that is not my greatest achievement in Computer Forensics. It's simply the most famous ;)
Some of my works divided by area of expertise:

I normally (and quite often) work as a Consultant in Forensics (consulente di parte) and I've served in some score of causes, some of them as "Mediaset vs. Google" became quite famous. Ah, and I'm the guy, too, who, among the others, set "ThePirateBay.org" free again in Italy...

I'm frequently panelist in conferences (I've held more than a hundred of them) enjoying speaking about Corporate and Personal Security, Control Evasion, Anonymity and Privacy.

[ OTHER STUFF ]
In the very scarce free time I try without success to play Golf, spend time Meditating, try to be a Reiki Master, stroll around in my Fixed Gear bikes. And I've ever since lost my hope in playing Guitar.

Oh, and I own a snake. A Lemon Pastel ball python.
