"Distrust and caution are the parents of security" - Benjamin Franklin

Ivan Arce, Core Security

I’m not sure there are too
many people around who put more serious thought into their answers in
an interview than Ivan does. He doesn’t just throw out a flip sound
bite that he knows will make good copy. Instead, he’s much more
interested in having a discussion, explaining the reasoning behind his
answers and asking just as many of his own questions. That’s a rare
thing, believe me. And so is Ivan’s ability to bring context to debates
or conversations that often have none, like the full disclosure
wormhole. Ask him his thoughts on that. Go ahead.

Dave Aitel, Immunity

Dave is one of the four or five smartest people I’ve ever interviewed,
and not just on matters related to security or technology in general.
His posts on the Daily Dave mailing list are always thoughtful and
often funny and he has a knack for explaining insanely complex
exploitation techniques, concepts and theories in simple language. Dave
has the hacker’s mindset, knows how the attackers think and is always
looking several steps down the road to see where they might be going
next.

By Dennis Fisher

It occurred to me recently that I’ve been covering the security
industry for just about 10 years. That’s a long time to be doing
anything, and especially to be writing about one topic. But it’s hard
to think of something that would have been much more interesting to
cover this decade, given the huge change in the amount of attention
paid to security and the fascinating cast of characters this industry
has.
