This week on The Upgrade we talk with Hector Monsegur, Director of Assessment Services at Rhino Labs.

Hector Monsegur is a former black-hat hacker. Under the alias Sabu, Hector hacked corporations, news outlets, and Middle Eastern governments. After he was caught, Hector became an informant for the FBI. He now makes a living on the right side of the law, helping companies discover where their vulnerabilities lie and how they can avoid getting hacked. Hector also appears on the Science Channel show Outlaw Tech, which explores the complex security systems designed to stop hackers, and the high-tech arsenal being employed on both sides of the law.
