Some people spend their careers uncovering scams, while others spend theirs preventing them. Luigi Pelazza, who has been one of the long-standing faces of *Le Iene* on Italia 1 for over twenty years, has decided to do both.
Since 2002, Luigi has been traveling the world with a microcamera and a notebook, reporting on investigations, scams, and news stories that have left a lasting impression on the Italian public. His work is driven by intuition, curiosity, and—above all—a focus on those at risk of falling victim to people who take advantage of others’ good faith. It’s no surprise that, a few years ago, he decided to put this same attention to work on a project of his own, founding Privacy S.r.l. in 2022, a company specializing in cybersecurity and new technologies.
It is in this spirit that today we are pleased to announce some news that makes us particularly happy: Luigi Pelazza is the new spokesperson for LECS®, the “Made in Italy” cybersecurity technology developed by Cyber Evolution. This was a natural choice, even before it was a business decision: someone who has spent a lifetime protecting people from scams is now doing the same in the digital realm.
The Meeting with LECS
About two and a half years ago, while scouting the cybersecurity market, Luigi came across LECS. Impressed by the solution, he decided to go see it for himself: he traveled to Ascoli Piceno and met the four founders of Cyber Evolution, the innovative SME that developed the technology. It was there that a genuine passion for the solution was born—so much so that, as he himself says,
“To me, LECS is a magical black box: all you have to do is connect it to the corporate network, and in the blink of an eye, it protects all corporate data and infrastructure.”
That meeting soon led to a partnership: Luigi began bringing LECS to market, targeting primarily small and medium-sized businesses and large corporations through a network of partners, as well as public administration agencies.
It’s no coincidence that, out of all the possible projects, he was the one to take up this cause. “After 25 years spent hunting down scammers of all kinds, finding an ally like this black box—with technology made in Italy—lets me sleep more soundly, ” says Luigi, who sees in LECS the same mission he has pursued his entire life in front of the cameras: protecting those at risk of being exposed—whether it’s a family or a business.
