Cenzic is proud to interview Marcus Sachs as part of our Application Security MythBusters series. This is the second of six pod cast interviews conducted on the show floor at the 2008 BlackHat Conference in Las Vegas.
Mr. Sachs volunteers as the Director of the SANS Internet Storm Center and is currently the Executive Director of Government Affairs for National Security Policy at Verizon in Washington, D.C. In 2007 Sachs was named a member of the Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency. Cenzic’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mandeep Khera, asks Marcus a series of questions about the application security landscape, why adoption of app security tools isn’t higher, and the drivers in this market.
One of the many points Mr. Sachs makes in this 9 minute podcast, is that application security can’t be ignored -- and SSL and firewall technology won’t fully protect your information against hacker attacks. The hacker community, who used to promote their conquests and attacks to the world 10 years ago has evolved to a subversive, quiet underworld. Their goal now is to stay silent, as they make millions of dollars for their expertise.
So how do you know if you’ve been hacked? No one will tell you until you stumble upon a huge breach and the money is long gone.
