English & Spanish

The technical version, in both languages.Nikolas Behar — cybersecurity expert and professor at the University of San Diego.

Plenty of people can discuss cybersecurity in Spanish. Far fewer can do it at the level a newsroom needs when a hospital is offline and the segment airs in ninety minutes. I am interviewed in Spanish directly — not dubbed, not translated after the fact.

13 Spanish-language interviews since 2022, for 4 newsrooms.

The same week, twice

One story, two languages

These are the times a San Diego story ran in English and in Spanish within a week, with me in both versions. The newsrooms booked separately; nobody coordinated it. For a producer, this is the useful part — the sister station can run its own segment rather than subtitles.

On 5 occasions between 2022 and 2026, a San Diego story ran in English and in Spanish within one week, with Nikolas Behar interviewed in both versions.

Common questions

Do you give interviews in Spanish?

Yes. 13 of my recorded interviews are in Spanish, for Telemundo 20, national Telemundo, Univision San Diego and KPBS. I am interviewed in Spanish directly — these are not dubbed or translated versions of an English segment.

Can you do the same story in both languages on the same day?

Regularly. On 5 occasions a San Diego story has run in English and Spanish within a week, with me in both versions — usually an English station and Telemundo 20 booking separately, without coordinating.

Is your Spanish technical, or conversational?

Technical. I teach and consult in offensive security, and I explain ransomware, data breaches, AI voice cloning and supply-chain attacks in Spanish at the same level I explain them in English. The constraint in this market is rarely Spanish fluency — it is finding someone who has both the language and the technical depth.

What formats do you work in?

Live, taped, remote or in studio, in either language. Email is faster than a form if you are on deadline: contact@nikolasbehar.com.
