Keren Elazari is a cybersecurity analyst and senior researcher at the Tel Aviv University Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center.
At the recent Sophos Evolve Cybersecurity summit, Keren delivered an urgent dissection of cybersecurity in the age of COVID-19.
Finally, Keren urged organisations to look to what she calls the friendly hacker community for a better understanding of the tactics used by their attackers, as well as for support.
As Keren put it, "It turns out that being locked down at home is actually very productive for friendly hackers."
As the cybersecurity industry continues to contend with a serious skills gap, Keren believes friendly hackers are set to play a vital role in its development.
It's time to take the red pill, wake up to this new reality, and use the friendly hacker mindset to build our immunity, together.
