Why would a hacker at the top of his game who found dozens of zero-days switch to defense? The answer is a lot more complicated than you think. In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Cody Pierce, co-founder and CEO of Neon Cyber and former Zero Day Initiative researcher. Cody gives us an insider view into the exploit marketplace, and tells us why he went from offense to defense.
🎯 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
✅ The REAL difference between vulnerabilities and exploits (most people get this wrong)
✅ Why attackers "bank" zero-days instead of using them immediately
✅ The shocking economics behind exploit marketplaces ($50K to nearly worthless in seconds)
✅ How nation-state attacks actually work (it's not what you think)
✅ What happened with Cody's own USB hacking tool
✅ What motivated Cody to change his approach to ecruity
Perfect for: Cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, IT managers, security researchers, students, and anyone curious about the real world of cyber warfare
