Offensive Security

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series Offensive security or "hacking back" has always been seen as either unethical or illegal. But now, we're seeing a resurgence in offensive security solutions. Are we redefining the term, or are companies now "hacking back?" Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Steve Zalewski. Our guest is Eric Hussey, CISO, Aptiv.
