I’ve been in this game long enough to watch the cybersecurity industry reinvent the same mistakes over and over.
I helped found one of the earliest public vulnerability research groups, L0pht Heavy Industries. I have sat in front of Congress and told them the internet was fragile, before it became daily news.
I’ve hacked systems, defended networks, led threat intelligence teams, and advised executives who finally realized security is a business issue.

Throughout my career I have fought to protect users, help organizations understand how real attackers think, and build defenses that actually stop them. During that time, I have learned that attackers don’t succeed because they’re smarter, they seldom are. Attackers succeed because they often understand the system better than the defenders. Defenders who are often fighting the wrong battle. (2/4)
