Who Needs Hackers' Rights? | RSA Conference 2020 | With Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, Jeff Boothby

Thank you for joining us at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. In this episode, Sean and Marco are coming to you from the RSA Conference in San Francisco and are joined by Chloé Messdaghi, Tanner Emek, and Jeff Boothby.

We all use the Internet and Internet-connected devices.

So, who needs hackers’ rights? We all do.

We've had several conversations here on ITSPmagazine over the years where we talk about cybersecurity research, ethical hacking, why this role in InfoSec exists, how bug bounties work. The benefits the hackers' work brings to society.

In today's conversation, we take a much more direct view into the role and the impact that current laws and a lack of understanding outside of the InfoSec industry can have—and does have—on the ethical hackers' lives… and, ultimately, in our society.

We must recognize that ethical hackers aren't cybercriminals—the work that they do matters. As we look for ways to protect our homes, our cars, the stores where we shop—not to mention that we want to have a safe Internet as well—we must come to terms with the reality that hackers are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Not convinced? Have a listen and decide for yourself.
