Computing has infiltrated society faster than we have been able to secure it. Defenders struggle with quantifying risk so that it translates into supported organizational changes and budget. Katie Moussouris—the strategist who launched some of the most internally controversial cutting-edge programs for defense, including Microsoft’s Bug Bounties and the DoD’s Hack the Pentagon—explains how to transmute our suffering into kinetic and organizational changes and how to turn the forces that resist our defense activities into our biggest supporters in our organizations.
