They say it takes a thief to catch a thief, so why not a hacker to catch a hacker? That was the premise behind Ted Harrington's Independent Security Evaluators, a company dedicated to poking holes into other companies' cyber defenses — for the right reasons, of course. On this episode of GRC & Me, Ted takes LogicGate's Chris Clarke on a journey down the benevolent hacker's rabbit hole, where they discuss:The difference between white box and black box testing (and which is better.)Why carrying these exercises out can build trust and become a competitive advantage in third-party risk assessment.Why it's important to shift your mindset from one that views security as an obstacle to one that views it as an opportunity.Uncovering the unknown unknowns in cybersecurity.How “defense in depth” strategies can put security teams a step ahead of threat actors.The four traits that lead hackers to be successful, and why thinking like one can be an effective way to bolster your cyber defenses.

"Hacking" is a word that evokes awe from the public, laughter from developers, and pure fear from technology leaders. But what really is hacking? What does trust really mean and how do we acquire and keep trust on the Internet? It turns out that, while hacking is associated with computers, the methods behind it have been around since the dawn of time. Today we have Ted Harrington from ISE to dive deep into hacking, all the way from the medieval times to today. 00:00:15 Intro00:01:25 Introducing Ted Harrington00:07:10 Ethical Hackers, Non-Ethical Hackers, and Productivity00:11:58 Starting out in Ethical Hacking/Security00:14:40 Imposter Syndrome00:19:34 What is Hacking?00:30:48 Is Hacking like magic?00:38:14 Defense in Depth00:42:04 Earning trust and The Departed movie (Spoiler alert)00:59:52 DEF CON® Hacking Conference01:02:46 Tips on how not to get hacked01:10:08 ISE.io culture and opportunities01:24:13 Farewells Resources mentioned in this episode: Companies: ISE (Independent Security Evaluators)o Website: https://www.ise.io/o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/independent-security-evaluatorso Twitter: https://twitter.com/ISEsecurityo Facebook: https://facebook.com/ISE.infosec People: Ted Harringtono Website: https://www.tedharrington.com/o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/securityted/o Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecurityTedo Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hackable-How-Application-Security-Right/dp/154451767X Sponsor: MParticleo Website: https://www.mparticle.com/ If you've enjoyed this episode, you can listen to more on Programming Throwdown's website: https://www.programmingthrowdown.com/ Reach out to us via email: programmingthrowdown@gmail.com You can also follow Programming Throwdown on Facebook | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Player.FM Join the discussion on our DiscordHelp support Programming Throwdown through our Patreon ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
