Unique advantage

A triangle no competitor occupies

No other advisor in LATAM sits at the intersection of quantum physics, operational security, and applied AI. That is not a claim — it is a verifiable fact.

Quantum-native thinking

Founded a quantum cryptography company (EAL 3+, NYSE Euronext IPO) before quantum was a boardroom buzzword. We understand the physics, not just the marketing.

Operator credibility

20+ years designing and running real cybersecurity operations across EMEA and LATAM — advisory, offensive, defensive, and OT/ICS environments.

MIT AI & Data Science

Applied AI credentials from MIT IDSS — covering deep learning, responsible AI, generative AI, and data-driven decision-making for complex systems.

Four practice areas.
One strategic lens.

Each practice is designed for C-suite and board audiences — high-stakes decisions where shallow expertise is a liability.

Practice 01
AI Risk & Governance
Board & C-suite advisory

Help boards design AI governance frameworks, responsible AI policies, and regulatory compliance strategies before AI adoption outpaces their risk controls.

AI Governance Responsible AI Regulatory Risk Frameworks
Buyer: Board · General Counsel · Chief Risk Officer
Practice 02
AI-Powered Cyber Defense
OT/IT convergence focus

Architect AI-driven threat detection and anomaly detection for industrial control systems — where a breach is not a data incident, it is an operational catastrophe.

Buyer: CISO · CTO · VP Infrastructure
Practice 03
AI Strategy & Readiness
Enterprise transformation

Design secure AI adoption roadmaps — from vendor evaluation and tool selection to workforce readiness — ensuring AI ambition does not outrun security posture.

Practice 04
Quantum-Safe Security
Post-quantum cryptography advisory

Nation-states harvest your encrypted data today to decrypt it tomorrow. With NIST PQC standards finalized, migration from classical cryptography is no longer optional.

Three inflection points converging

AI adoption is outpacing governance

Enterprises deploy AI faster than their legal, risk, and security teams can assess it. Regulatory exposure and model risk are growing quietly — until they aren't.

OT/IT convergence is creating new attack surfaces

As industrial systems connect to enterprise networks and cloud, the consequences of a breach escalate from financial to physical. Most security teams are not ready.

The quantum threat is not theoretical

NIST finalized post-quantum standards in 2024. Adversaries already harvest encrypted traffic for future decryption. The migration window is open — and closing.

Frédéric Costé

Managing Director and founder of Minus3 Technologies. Two decades at the edge of cybersecurity, cryptography, and emerging technology — across France, the United States, and Latin America.

"I built a quantum cryptography company before it was a category. I spent 20 years securing operational technology that, if compromised, doesn't just lose data — it stops factories, pipelines, and power grids. Now, with MIT AI credentials, I help boards navigate the most consequential technology inflection point in a generation."

Built for boards,
not project teams

Minus3 Technologies works with a small number of clients at a time — high engagement, high accountability, genuine outcomes.

01
Strategic retainer

Ongoing board-level advisory on a monthly or quarterly basis. Rapid-response access for emerging threats, regulatory changes, or technology decisions.

02
Focused assessment

A defined-scope engagement — AI governance audit, PQC readiness review, OT security architecture assessment — with a structured report and executive presentation.

03
Board education

Half-day or full-day sessions for boards and senior leadership teams on AI risk, post-quantum threats, and OT/IT security — calibrated to non-technical decision-makers.

Minus3 Technologies maintains a maximum of 6–8 concurrent client relationships to ensure the quality of attention each engagement deserves. Availability is limited. Initial conversations are by invitation or referral.
