The Rise of the Ethical Hacker: The Wild, Wild West of Cybersecurity with Ted Harrington

In this episode, I sit down with Ted Harrington, the author of Hackable: How to Do Application Security Right, and the Executive Partner at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), one of the most prominent global companies working in the growing industry of ethical hacking. We talk about cybersecurity, the growth of the "ethical hacker" profession, and how the next generation of humanists and technologists can keep the internet safe.

For his stewardship of security research that Wired Magazine says “wins the prize, hands down,” Ted has been named both Executive of the Year [by American Business Awards] and 40 Under 40 [by SD Metro]. He leads a team that started and organizes IoT Village, an event whose hacking contest is a three-time DEFCON Black Badge winner, and which represents the discovery of more than 300 zero-day vulnerabilities (and counting). Ted’s work has been featured in more than 100 media outlets, including The New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and USA Today.
