Security Experts We’d Listen to About AI Hacking

Bruce Schneier has spent decades explaining how security failures emerge from systems, incentives and policy rather than one technical flaw. That perspective is essential when AI amplifies existing weaknesses.

Casey Ellis founded Bugcrowd and helped make crowdsourced security testing a commercial practice. His perspective is useful when AI increases both the supply of researchers and attackers.

Chris Krebs led the US cybersecurity agency during a major election and later advised organizations on operational resilience. He is strongest on turning broad threats into institutional preparation.

Eva Galperin combines technical security work with advocacy for people targeted by spyware and digital abuse. She keeps discussion focused on victims and deployers, not only sophisticated exploits.

Alex Stamos has led security at major platforms and advised institutions confronting disinformation and cyber threats. His experience covers both technical defense and the governance choices around it.

Mikko Hyppönen has investigated malware and cybercrime across several technological eras. He communicates real operational risk clearly without treating every new tool as an unprecedented catastrophe.

Katie Moussouris helped establish modern bug-bounty programs and vulnerability-disclosure practices. Her work connects researchers, companies and governments around incentives for reporting problems before attackers exploit them.

Dmitri Alperovitch co-founded CrowdStrike and has long analyzed state-linked cyber operations. He understands how geopolitical incentives, private infrastructure and technical attacks interact.

Window Snyder has led security work across Microsoft, Mozilla, Apple and other technology companies. Her career shows how secure engineering must be built into products rather than added after release.

Rachel Tobac demonstrates social-engineering attacks against real organizational processes and trains teams to resist them. AI-generated voices and messages make her human-centered expertise increasingly relevant.
