Penetration Testing: The Humanity Behind the Hacking | SecurityMetrics Podcast 10


Listen Later

Paul Poh (CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CIPP/US) has had an interest in cybersecurity since before the internet as we know it existed. From his first exposure to the “Morris Worm” in the early ‘90s as a software engineer at Tufts University, to his current role as Partner at Radical Security, Paul’s mixture of curiosity and wisdom have helped him maintain the perspective needed to be a successful penetration tester. He shares his insights with our Host Jen Stone (Principal Security Analyst, CISSP, CISA, QSA) on why it’s the small things that can take down an organization’s security. 

“Your Software Development, Engineering, and DevOps can all be great. But a malicious actor can still break a password, attack your source code, and insert a backdoor that would then be pushed into production. You can do a great job protecting production, but if a hacker can find something small, they will.”
