MBJ SHOWCASE — Horne Cyber: Tackling the growing cyber-security threat

What is the best way for all of us in business to deal with the growing threat from hackers and cyber-terrorists? The short answer is to retain experts to hack into your system.

Horne Cyber, a division of Horne LLP, is in business to do just that. In a recent conversation with Brad Fuller, Director of Client Services, and Dr. Wesley McGrew, Director of Cyber Operations for Horne Cyber, we talked about the growing danger posed to business by hackers, both those who are organized and supported, as well as the “lone wolf”.

Both men are Mississippi State University alumni who started and developed Halberd Group LLC, the successful company which is now Horne Cyber. Dr. McGrew holds a Ph.D. in computer science for his research in vulnerability analysis of SCADA HMI systems, and is the author of penetration testing and forensics tools currently used by many practitioners. He is a repeat presenter at DEF CON and lecturer at Blackhat USA .
