How to See Your Organization Like a Hacker with Chris Dale

To defend like a human, you first have to think like a hacker.

In this episode, Ron Eddings sits down with Chris Dale, Co-Founder and Chief Hacking Officer at River Security, to explore the human side of hacking, where curiosity, persistence, and vigilance meet defense.
