In this episode of the Infosec Theater, Meltem and Ben speak with the eXperienced Alon about the "X" in our cyber alphabet: eXploits.

We discuss: 

✱ Who is Alon: Co-Founder of Astellia, former leader of the Israeli National Red Team, and a massive Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball fan. 

✱ The Parenting Analogy: Why an exploit is basically a kid asking Dad for candy after Mom already said "No". 

✱ Vulnerability vs. Exploit: The difference between a structural flaw (the gap) and the actual action of abusing it. 

✱ Real-World Impact: A look back at WannaCry and Log4j , and why known vulnerabilities (1-days) are often a much bigger headache for companies than mystical 0-days. 

✱ The Asymmetry of Cyber: Why attackers have the easier job, while defenders have to secure everything—from ancient legacy systems to the cloud. 

✱ The Cyber Jungle: Why Alon chose the Lion as his cybersecurity animal.
