Carlos Alvarez

Disruption Partnerships Lead

Carlos leads ZeroFox's global disruption partnerships, spanning social media networks, domain registrars, and the hosting industry. With over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, internet governance, and intellectual property enforcement, his career began in Bogotá leading software anti-piracy initiatives led by the Business Software Alliance and serving as Head of Legal for Sony Music's Andean region. He then spent nearly 15 years at ICANN, where he led Contractual Compliance before becoming the primary liaison for global law enforcement and the threat intelligence and incident response communities.

Carlos currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) and the Internet Fire Brigade Society, and serves as a Strategic Advisor to the Global Cyber Alliance. He co-founded the Anti-Phishing and DNS Abuse Special Interest Groups at M3AAWG, where he remains co-chair, and the DNS Abuse SIG at FIRST. His background across the legal, regulatory, and technical sectors allows him to bridge the gap between policy and real-world threat mitigation.
