Researcher studies the hacker mind
Timothy Summers is providing a better understanding about how hackers think through his research and newly formed startup, Summers & Co., LLC, designed to improve cybersecurity.
Located in Silver Spring, Md., Summers & Co. assists businesses, governments and other organizations to protect data. His new website, How Hackers Think, recognizes the brilliance of hackers, who can either be malevolent or highly valued strategists.
Summers recently completed and defended his dissertation, titled "How Hackers Think: A Mixed Method Study of Mental Models and Cognitive Patterns of High-Tech Wizards." He now holds a PhD in Management: Designing Sustainable Systems from Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University.
