So You Want to be a Cyber Spy? - Ira Winkler - CSP #20

Ira Winkler, CISO at Skyline Technology Solutions, recounts his amazing journey from wannabe astronaught to NSA intelligence analyst, social engineer, systems hacker and author and some of the crazy things that happened along the way. Ira is considered one of the world’s most influential security professionals and has been named a “Modern Day James Bond” - a title he earned by performing espionage simulations, where he physically and technically “broke into” some of the largest companies in the World, investigated cybercrimes against them, and then telling them how to cost effectively protect their information and computer infrastructure. He continues to perform these espionage simulations, as well as assisting organizations in developing cost-effective security programs and increase security awareness.
