Скачать или смотреть Think Like a Hacker with Ted Harrington

Ted Harrington is an ethical hacking expert and Executive Partner at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE). At ISE, Ted leads a team of good-guy hackers hired by companies to break into their systems, so they can fix vulnerabilities before the bad guys find them. From Fortune 500 tech giants to AI-driven startups, Ted helps B2B innovators build more secure SaaS products by thinking like the adversary and uncovering hidden flaws that others miss. He’s also a best-selling author who champions the hacker mindset as a competitive edge in business.

What You’ll Learn
• AI’s Double-Edged Sword: How generative AI is empowering low-skill hackers to launch sophisticated attacks, and why AI is both a tool and a threat in cybersecurity.
• “100% Unhackable” Is a Myth: Why no system can ever be perfectly secure – and how smart companies focus on constant improvement and resilience instead of chasing perfection.
• The “Idiot Cycle” of Innovation: A three-phase pattern in tech (innovation ➔ reckless rush ➔ improvement) and how today’s AI gold rush is creating security blind spots that will need fixing later.
• Think Like a Hacker. How adopting a hacker’s mindset (curiosity, independent thinking, challenging norms) helps tech teams spot unseen opportunities and vulnerabilities before attackers do.
• Why Companies Hire Hackers: An inside look at why leading firms literally pay ethical hackers to attack them – and how this proactive approach saves money, reputation, and headaches in the long run.
• Hacking Hollywood: A real-world story of how Ted’s team uncovered a backdoor that could’ve leaked unreleased blockbuster films, and the surprising lessons it teaches about data protection.
• Build Security from Day 1: Why involving security experts at the whiteboard stage (instead of post-launch) is cheap, easy, and critical – and how it prevents costly fixes down the road.
• Top 3 Security Must-Dos: Ted’s actionable checklist for tech leaders, including threat modeling your app, re-evaluating if your security investment matches attacker capabilities, and choosing the right testing methodology.
