About The Wireless Cable
Welcome to The Wireless Cable, where diplomacy meets the digital frontier.
Traditionally, diplomats have used cables—secure, official communications—to share crucial information across borders. In today's interconnected world, these cables have evolved, intersecting with the vast and complex realm of cybersecurity. The Wireless Cable is your go-to source for insights at the crossroads of international relations and cybersecurity.
Here, I explore government decisions, digital threats and how they intertwine, impacting global stability and national security. Whether it's the latest geopolitical development, a new cybersecurity challenge, or the convergence of both, The Wireless Cable delivers analysis and commentary that unravels the intricacies of our modern world.
Join me navigate the cables of diplomacy and the wireless currents of the cyber world, one post at a time.
The voice behind The Wireless Cable
Jorge Tuddón holds a Bachelor's degree in International Relations from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and a Master's degree in Diplomacy and International Relations from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
He served as a career diplomat from 2013 to 2022, holding various roles including: Consul for the Protection of Mexicans and Legal Affairs at the Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia, where he contributed to the development of the "Protocol for Consular Assistance to Unaccompanied Migrant Children and Adolescents" by UNICEF and the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE); Consul for Political Affairs, Press Consul, and Spokesperson at the Consulate General of Mexico in New York, where he played a key role in advocating for the passage of several regional policies that continue to benefit undocumented migrants. He began his diplomatic career as a Consular Officer at the Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta and later worked as Head of the Department for the Human Rights Council at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Jorge always interested in how computers and electronics work. For example, in Middle School he took a C++ programming course, which later became useful in High School where he programmed his TI-86 to obtain automated answers to formulas used in Mathematics and Science courses that he shared with his friends. Afterwards, he would be known to have fun and engaging discussions with colleagues and professors alike about his knowledge of breaking technology and current events. Jorge’s curiosity led him to focus his Master’s Capstone Project in IT Security. Entitled “Policy Recommendations for Mexico in the Realm of Protection of Private Data in Information and Communication Technologies” he analyzed global data protection regulations, focusing on GDPR in Europe and comparing it with the frameworks in the U.S., Russia, China, and Mexico. Jorge’s research identified gaps in Mexico's regulatory landscape and provided actionable policy recommendations to enhance private data protection in ICTs. He presented his findings to Mexican authorities, aiming to strengthen their digital privacy laws. This experience enriched Jorge’s understanding of international data protection and prepared him to engage in discussions on cybersecurity policy.
He continues to learn and build his skills in GRC and the technical areas of cybersecurity and digital privacy. Jorge has obtained the Google Cyber Security Certificate, the Qualys certificates in Policy Compliance and Vulnerability Management, and the INFOSEC Computer Forensics Specialization. He is currently a private consultant specializing in communications and cybersecurity, but actively looking for a role in the intersection of communications, government relations and cybersecurity.
