About Resiliently
What I Do
I write about cyber risk engineering in the insurance industry and AI automation across industries — from operations and marketing to ecommerce and beyond. I share lessons from real-world risk assessments, regulatory compliance, and building AI-powered tools.
Why Resiliently
Resilience is the thread that connects everything I work on — helping organizations withstand cyber threats, navigate regulatory change, and adopt AI without losing sight of risk fundamentals. This site is where I share what I'm learning along the way.
For Who
Cyber underwriters, risk engineers, CISOs, and anyone curious about how AI automation is reshaping operations — in insurance and beyond.

I'm Michael Guiao, a Founder, Resiliently.ai | Cyber Risk & Insurance Intelligence based in Cologne, Germany — covering both the Cologne and Zurich offices. I spend my days conducting technical cyber risk assessments for multinational organizations across industries ranging from manufacturing to financial services.
Before Zurich, I worked as a Cyber Risk Specialist at AXA, an IT Auditor at Xella Group, and a Consultant in Financial Services Risk Assurance at PwC. That path gave me a front-row seat to how organizations actually deal with cyber risk — the good, the messy, and everything in between.
On the side, I build AI automation tools — not just for insurance, but across operations, marketing, and ecommerce. I'm especially interested in how multi-agent AI systems can streamline workflows that traditionally require too much manual effort.
Resiliently is where I share what I'm learning — from hands-on risk engineering work and regulatory developments like NIS2 and DORA, to experiments with AI automation across different industries. The goal is to make these topics accessible and practical.
