Cyberattackers aren’t just using better tools anymore. They’re thinking differently, too.
In this episode of the ManageEngine Insights Podcast, host Jeremy Spence speaks with Bastien Treptel, a former ethical hacker who once broke into a major Australian bank and is now helping global enterprises do what many tools can’t—think like a hacker and defend accordingly.
