Ed Skoudis: America losing the cybersecurity war to hackers
As much as we don't like to hear about it, America is not winning the cyberwar. Malicious hackers are winning and China has penetrated "every major U.S. company." But there are elite cyber warriors who protect the world from cybercrime and the USA desperately needs more Cyber Guardians. In advance of the second annual Cyber Guardian information security training event in Baltimore next week, April 30 - May 7, 2012, I had an opportunity to interview Ed Skoudis about the SANS Cyber Guardian program.
Skoudis is a security expert on hacker attacks and defenses, a world-renowned author and senior security consultant with InGuardians. He's demonstrated hacker techniques against financial institutions for the U.S. Senate and frequently speaks at security conferences. He is also a SANS Faculty Fellow who teaches thousands of information security professionals how to improve their skills and better defend their networks.
