Pentesters Arrested on the Job

The SecureWorld Sessions

When an Iowa Sheriff arrested Coalfire pentesters Gary DeMercurio and Justin Wynn on the job, it sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community. The two InfoSec professionals faced felony charges, jail time, and the possibility of a criminal record for doing what they were hired to do. And information security professionals faced a possible chilling effect around a common strategy for testing defenses.

Now, Gary and Justin tell their story to the SecureWorld audience during a candid interview. They will take us through what happened to them and share what they learned in the process.
