My mind is in a very peaceful and reflective mood. I’m
nearing the end of my first time away from work in at least
three years, most of which has been a blur as I founded my
own cybersecurity firm.
I’ve learned a lot about venture capital, investors, and
mentors—as well as what it takes to build a company from
just an idea. It’s been an amazing journey. My reputation
as a white hat hacker gave me the credibility to get this far,
and we’re just getting started.
I believe in giving as I go. In other words, instead of waiting
until I “make it” to give back to others, I have been trying
to mentor everyone I come across along the way. I have
always been the type to want to help others, so I mean
it when I say you’re welcome to email or meet me for
guidance about anything. I will always try my best to help.
Over the last year, I’ve listened to hundreds of hours
of audiobooks while going to and from work and while
walking the dogs. One of the books that really impressed
me was Tribe of Mentors by Timothy Ferriss, and it
stands as the inspiration for this book’s concept. I highly
recommend this thought-provoking read on life and
business, especially if you’re a fan of self-help books or entrepreneurship.
In his book, Ferriss asked famous people from his
impressive network eleven questions, and then the magic
just happens. For me, this immediately sparked the idea
that there should be a cybersecurity version of the book.
So, I compiled the most common questions people ask me
about cybersecurity and then narrowed it down to the list
you are about to see.
In total, I ended up with 14 questions. The questions
initially start with views of cybersecurity at-large and
then become more personal. I noticed that when I have
conversations at conferences, this is the normal flow. We
call these types of conversations “hallway-con,” because
some of the best learning happens between the scheduled
talks and events.
After compiling the questions, I started reaching out to
my network of friends and colleagues in the industry and
asked them to be a part of this book. I was humbled by
the response. In total, we ended up with 70 inspiring and
thought-provoking interviews with notable hackers—
including such luminaries as Lesley Carhart, David
Kennedy, and Bruce Potter.
But before we launch into the interviews, let’s take a quick
look at the questions:
1. If there is one myth that you could debunk in
cybersecurity, what would it be?
2. What is one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck
actions that an organization can take to improve
their cybersecurity posture?
3. How is it that cybersecurity spending is
increasing but breaches are still happening?
4. Do you need a college degree or certification
to be a cybersecurity professional?
5. How did you get started in the cybersecurity field,
and what advice would you give to a beginner
pursuing a career in cybersecurity?
6. What is your specialty in cybersecurity?
How can others gain expertise in your specialty?
7. What is your advice for career success when it
comes to getting hired, climbing the corporate
ladder, or starting a company in cybersecurity?
8. What qualities do you believe all highly successful
cybersecurity professionals share?
9. What is the best book or movie that can be
used to illustrate cybersecurity challenges?
10. What is your favorite hacker movie?
11. What are your favorite books for motivation,
personal development, or enjoyment?
12. What is some practical cybersecurity advice you
give to people at home in the age of social media
and the Internet of Things?
13. What is a life hack that you’d like to share?
14. What is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made,
and how did you recover from it?
Before we wrap up, a quick note about the book: We edited
every interview to improve flow and readability, and in
some cases, this meant abbreviating answers or deleting
non-responses. You’ll also notice that we’ve included
contact information at the end of each bio indicating where
you can find each hacker on the web, as well as on social
media. We’re an engaged and tight-knit group, and we
hope you’ll join us.
Creating this book has been an amazing journey, and I
hope the answers to these questions help guide you along your path.
