Roberto de Carvalho Silva is making waves in the cybersecurity landscape, leveraging his extensive research to enhance the security and efficiency of SAP systems, critical to global business operations. As an IEEE Senior Member, a prestigious distinction held by only 10% of the IEEE’s over 500,000 global members, Roberto’s work is driving innovation in technical support and cybersecurity, earning him recognition as a leader in the field.
His research, published in high-impact journals like Revistaft, International Seven Multidisciplinary Journal, and International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research, focuses on mitigating vulnerabilities in SAP environments. In “Best Cybersecurity Practices in SAP Systems Technical Support: Preventing Workstation Vulnerabilities” (International Seven Journal, 2023), Roberto outlines a multi-layered approach to securing workstations, recommending multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), and automated patch management. His findings show that these measures reduce unauthorized access risks by 40%, significantly strengthening enterprise defenses.
In “Security Incident Management in SAP Environments: A Technical-Operational Approach in Field Support” (IRE Journals, 2025), Roberto emphasizes the role of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools in real-time threat detection. His research demonstrates that systematic log analysis cuts incident response times, with MFA reducing credential-based attacks by 40% and structured patching lowering vulnerability exploits by 30%. These insights are critical for organizations reliant on SAP for financial, supply chain, and HR operations.
Roberto’s article “Automation and Optimization of the SAP Software Installation Process in Corporate Workstations” (Revistaft, 2025) explores how tools like Ansible and Terraform streamline SAP deployments, enhancing scalability and security. His findings indicate that automation reduces deployment time and human errors, while hardening practices like least privilege policies fortify systems against cyber threats, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR and LGPD.
Beyond research, Roberto’s industry contributions are profound. At General Motors (2013–2018), he optimized IT infrastructure, led SAP/R3 and Catalyst implementations, and ensured ITIL-compliant operations across Latin America. As a consultant for Master’s Assessoria Empresarial (2019–2021), he achieved 100% LGPD and GDPR compliance for over 500 clients, reducing cyber risks by 70%. At Parco Engenharia Consultoria (2023), he spearheaded AI-driven automation and cybersecurity strategies, aligning with ESG principles and ODS goals for sustainable digital transformation.
As an IEEE Senior Member, Roberto’s global influence is amplified through his participation in conferences and his role in shaping cybersecurity standards. Fluent in English and with extensive certifications in Solaris, ISO 27001, and ESG auditing, he bridges technical expertise with practical application. His work not only safeguards SAP environments but also inspires a new generation of professionals to prioritize proactive cybersecurity, ensuring a secure digital future.
