I had to opportunity to sit with Gabe Marzano, a cybersecurity specialists, to explore cybersecurity, its broad types and motivation behind the perpetrators.

Key discussion points:

  • Keep cybersecurity simple
  • 3 main motivation behind hacking:
    • Monetary gain
    • Espionage
    • Idealogical (psychological, neurological and ego)
  • Black hat hackers continue to cause chaos
  • Bastion Treptel - convicted criminal from a young age who became a black hat hacker but came to the ‘good side’ to consult on cybersecurity
  • Ethics and values are constantly to the front to discern
  • Biometrics will continue to lead the way to strengthening future of security
