This website is operated by Ricardo Prieto under the publication name PhiloCyber ("PhiloCyber", "we", "us"). These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between PhiloCyber and you governing your access to and use of this website. By accessing or using the website, you accept these terms; if you do not agree, you must refrain from using it.
2. Services and Website Content
Consulting Status
Ricardo is not taking on new consulting engagements through PhiloCyber. Any existing engagements remain governed by their separate written service agreements. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to provide services, a quote, or the creation of a consultant–client relationship.
Educational Content — Not Professional Advice
The articles, research, and other materials published on this website are provided for educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute professional, legal, or security advice, and they may not reflect the specifics of your systems or situation. Do not act on this content without obtaining advice tailored to your circumstances.
3. Intellectual Property
Ownership
All content on this website — including articles, research, graphics, and code samples — is the intellectual property of PhiloCyber unless stated otherwise. Proprietary methodologies referenced on this site, including the PC-ASAM methodology, are and remain the exclusive intellectual property of PhiloCyber.
Permitted Use
You may access and use the content for personal, non-commercial purposes. PDF files and presentation materials may be shared and distributed without modification, provided that clear attribution to PhiloCyber is included and, where feasible, a reference to the original material.

4. Acceptable and Responsible Use
The information, tools, and techniques presented on this website may only be applied to systems you own or for which you have obtained explicit authorization. By using this website you agree to:
- Respect all intellectual property rights and refrain from unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or modification of content.

5. Disclaimers
No Warranties
All content is provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
No Guarantee of Security Outcomes
Security testing and research — including any services described on this website — identify vulnerabilities at a specific point in time and under a defined scope. No security assessment can guarantee that a system is free of vulnerabilities or immune to future attack, and PhiloCyber makes no such guarantee.
Third-Party Resources
PhiloCyber does not endorse or assume responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, or practices of third-party websites or resources linked from this website. You access such external resources at your own risk.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PhiloCyber shall not be liable for any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, arising from the use, inability to use, or misuse of the content, tools, or techniques provided on this website. Liability for any misuse of the information presented here rests solely with the user.
7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the practice is established, currently the Argentine Republic, without prejudice to any mandatory provisions — including consumer protection rules — of the law of your place of residence that may apply. Any dispute arising from these Terms will be submitted to the courts with jurisdiction over the practice’s place of establishment, unless applicable law mandatorily provides otherwise.
8. Amendments to These Terms
PhiloCyber reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use at its discretion. Modifications will be published on this page with an updated revision date, and continued use of the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. You are responsible for reviewing these terms periodically.
