In 2022 alone, India was prone to over 1300 data breaches and cyber-attacks becoming the second most cyber-vulnerable country in the world.

The recent news of the alleged CoWin data breach underlines the importance of data security awareness and laws. But the dark web has its bright knights: ethical hackers who work with governments and companies to make them stronger and fight dark-hooded creatures with keyboards who will stop at nothing to know your most intimate details-physical-to-financial. 

Host Dia Rekhi talks to two such e-tectives: 

• Saket Modi, Co-Founder and CEO at Safe Security on his journey of ethical hacking
• Vivek Ramachandran, Founder of SquareX to breakdown the layers of ethical hacking for you.
