I have spent more than 15 years working in the cybersecurity of highly regulated industries and high-risk systems.
In recent years, it has become clear to me that we are not adequately protecting our cyber talent.
We value empty words more than real knowledge. In a field where security is at stake, this is not just a mistake.
This is a risk.
I do not believe in promises of security.
I believe that a system is either capable of withstanding attacks proportional to the relevant risks, or it cannot be considered secure. At A4C, this is the only standard: security must always stay one step ahead of threats.
However, this requires talents who are capable of sustained, deep focus to uncover the true workings of complex systems, and who possess the necessary abilities to recognize the contradictions and patterns that can lead to cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
A4C deliberately develops these talents to become outstanding professionals. At the same time, it provides them with the opportunity to work on the security of real systems and to have a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity.
