We wanted to explore in today’s episode what makes them tick. Why is it some organizations are only in the news for new products that they launch, people that they save or a new location that they’re opening.  All positive things. But other organizations are in the news for reputation damaging data breach. 

Today we are going to explore the mind of a hacker and reset expectations of the language that we use. Hackers are not evil in fact there are several different types of hackers. Hackers are engineers and people that figure out how things work. Without them we wouldn’t have some of the greatest inventions and protections that we all take for granted every day.
