CL004: Keren Elazari on Ted talks and creative hackers

In this episode of The Creative Life Podcast I talk with hacker turned cyber security expert, internationally celebrated speaker, researcher and author Keren Elazari. She talks about the positive phenomenon and ethical side of hacking and also shares with us how hacking has been adopted by the mainstream. "I try to be inspired by the work of other people in my field or related to it." – Keren Elazari Show Notes: Keren's involvement on a project called "PKI" and her belief that applying this concept in an enterprise environment would solve a lot of security problems that they were dealing with. Keren gave everything to it, but the concept failed in more than one way. She learned that sometimes having the best technical solution is not enough, and you really have to get the human solution.
